1828 Definition
V is the twenty second letter of the English Alphabet, and a labial articulation, formed by the junction of the upper teeth with the lower lip, as in pronouncing av, ev, ov, vain. It is not a close articulation, but one that admits of some sound. It is nearly allied to F, being formed by the same organs; but V is vocal, and F is aspirate, and this constitutes the principal difference between them. V and U were formerly the same letter, derived no doubt from the oriental vau or waw, but they have now as distinct uses as any two letters in the alphabet, and are therefore to be considered as different letters. V has one sound only, as in ver, vote, lavish.
1913 Definition
V, the twenty-second
letter of the English alphabet, is a vocal consonant. V and U are only
varieties of the same character, U being the cursive form, while V is
better adapted for engraving, as in stone. The two letters were formerly
used indiscriminately, and till a comparatively recent date words
containing them were often classed together in dictionaries and other books
of reference (see U). The letter V is from the Latin alphabet, where
it was used both as a consonant (about like English w) and as a
vowel. The Latin derives it from it from a form (V) of the Greek vowel
***UPSILON] (see Y), this Greek letter being either from the same
Semitic letter as the digamma
See Guide to Pronunciation, § 265; also §§ 155, 169, 178-179, etc. As a numeral, V stands for five, in English and
Latin.
