i have always thought that a double "Uruz" was used for a "v" and a
single "Uruz" would be used for a U.
but im new to the subject and might be wrong.

Depending on your source material (I'm reading this from Rune-net and
Edred Thorsson), the character "Wunjo" is used for "W" depending on
context. "Uruz" would be used for "U" or "V". Those are how I've used
them, anyhow. Not sure if that helps or harms the discussion.
