verb
2was very often used in manuscript instead of the capital U; as, Vn día for Un día.
verb
3 or Vd.
As the Spaniards press very lightly their lower lips against the upper teeth in pronouncing this letter, it frequently sounds like b especially at the start of words., stance as a contraction for Usted, (sing.) you, and VV., or Vds., for Ustedes, (pl.) you (formerly Vm. Vmd., Vms. Vmds.); also for vuestra, vuestras; as V. M, vuestra majestad, your majesty; V. S. Usía (vuestra señoría), your lordship or ladyship, etc. V in Roman numerals stands for five, for verb in grammar, for wind (viento) in meteorology, and volume in mathematical calculations.
