Which is according to google translate means She-Wolf in french. I think that would have been funnier it is a word I could find.

Damn, she-wolf sounds so dumb, why doesn't english have different words for male and female for all animals like it does for lion

isn't the stem word for that loup?

Who said that the word doesn't haue "u"?

Was that my Father that went hence so fast?
Ben. It was: what sadnes lengthens Romeo's houres?
Ro. Not hauing that, which hauing, makes them short
Ben. In loue.
Romeo. Out.
Ben. Of loue.
Rom. Out of her fauour where I am in loue.
Ben. Alas that loue so gentle in his view,

Romeo and Juliet, foglio I, around verse 170

...good enough for Shakespeare, good enough for me. No need for a fifth letter!


I'm half-joking with the above, but the word did use to be spelled with "U" instead of "V". Past then both were taken as the same letter. [/trivia]

This is why 'double u' in French is 'Double v'

‘u’ was the lowercase form, ‘V’ was the uppercase form

It was both case and position: for uppercase you'd use ⟨V⟩, for initial lowercase ⟨v⟩, else ⟨u⟩. For example, check "view" in the last line of the excerpt.

There’s a comic floating around that is drawn where one of the characters eyes float when they are not facing front. Normal eye, floating eye. Creepy.

I love the gender-neutral drawing, very subtle.
