minus-squarediegeticscream[all]🔻@lemmygrad.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·8 months agoI think the “wee” sound comes from combining the “u” and the “y” sounds to be “oo-ee”, and that sounds like a “w” when you say it quickly. I can’t think of an English word that has an initial “uy”, so there’s not really anything to follow there.
