Uilleann is an elbow, and it is the only letter in the alphabet named for its own shape rather than for something out in the world. An elbow bends one way and then stops, which is precisely why it works. Today expect a change of direction that the structure can absorb without anything breaking. Two of the three kenning lists call this letter a great cubit, the length from elbow to fingertip, and early Irish law measured buildings and ground that way. So the second question for the day is what you are measuring against, and whether the standard is yours or somebody else's.
