Where this word comes from
Borrowed from Polish wu, chosen for being similar to kuo (“Q”). Coined by Sergio Pokrovskij in Komputika Leksikono in 1995 as a less ambiguous alternative to the more common names duobla vo (which can be taken to mean "vv") and vavo (which can also be used for the Hebrew letter vav or the Arabic letter waw).
