It is natural then that the yoke should have become the symbol of bachelorhood. The cut herewith shows this symbol from a tablet from the Epic of Nimrod. U takes its form from this yoke and its sound from the Assyrian UN, implying negation, as shown in such words as Unit, Until, Unsafe, Unacceptable, Un-amiable, Unblemished, Unbroken, Uncalled, Undutiful, Unburied, Unfashionable, Unfeeling, Unfruitful, Unpoetic, Unmarried, and Unwise.
U girls are usually Unsophisticated and Unaffected, and the men for them to marry should be Useful, Upright, and Urbane.
Un. A cantankerous prefix which contradicts every adjective it meets.
Union. A combination of at least two unmarried states.
Us. The plural of U.
V
V originated from an early representation of Venus rising from the sea.
This symbol was used upon the “Ladies’ Entrance” to all the public baths of the ancients.
