UNDERFONG, "war or battle to _underfong_" (N90,_a_), undertake, manage, wage. UNRIGHTFUL, "In _unrightful_ to say pride of him than" (JE366,_c_), the passage is obscure or corrupt; _unrightful_ occurs in Bale (_Works_, E.E.D.S.), 59,_c_--"justices _unrightful_." UNTHRIFTS RENT (JE364,_c_)--"let us go to _Unthrift's_ a while" (JE361,_c_), a _rent_ = tenements or houses let out to others; often named after the proprietor: Fulwood's _Rents_, Holborn, is (1907) a case in point. UNTIL (_passim_), to, unto. VALESLIE, "you liest _valeslie_" (R210,_c_), valorously. VOWELS: "worship of the five vowels" (M22,_c_), the passage as it stands is obscure. Furnivall and Pollard read _v. vowellys_, Manly, _v voli ellys_ and Brandl, _volvellys_. I have perforce followed the first-named as the most likely to be according to the original, but in view of the uncertainty as to the accuracy of either transcript, little can be said (see _Mankind_). Manly (whom the E.E. Text editors follow) suggests _vij_ (_or xx_) _devellys_; Brandl _dewellys_? The phrasing is suggestive, "worship" (cf. "worship of the new year": see _New Year_), and "v vowels," which of course is distinctive, but I am quite at a loss to suggest an explanation. If the allusion is to gaming, _vowels_ may be a miscript for _volvelles_, quite a different word. Whitney says of it--"A small and generally circular movable plate affixed to an engraving containing a dial or lottery, and made to carry the index hand or pointer." There is a paragraph in _Notes and Queries_ (Sixth Series, vol. xi. p. 217) referring to "volvelles," and it seems pretty evident from this that they were well known as instruments of chance; there is an allusion in Withers' _Emblems_, where he makes use of the "Index" or "volvelle" in a moral sense. One could understand the "worship of _volvelles_," if this were a gambling game, as one can understand the "worship of dice." WALSINGHAM WHISTLE (M20,_c_), probably an allusion to the "Wishing Wells" at Walsingham (Norfolk). Persons drinking of them were said to obtain the fulfilment of any wish made while drinking. _Nought_, appealed to, said he could "pipe on a Walsingham whistle," _i.e._ wish for what he wanted, and perhaps get it. Apparently he does, for he wished for the entry of _Titivullus_, who appears. WALTER, "I love ill to _walter_" (JE364,_a_), tumble, roll about. "To turne or _walter_ in mire" (Baret, 1580). WART, "che _wa'r't_, a false harlot you art" (R210,_c_), war[ran]t. WAT, "some great _wat_" (N69,_b_)--"Brother _wat_" (WH297,_a_), a wight, a man. WAY, "_do way, do way_" (M6,_c_), away, away!
