It's hard to know what was meant, but take the sound [u]  or 'oo' as in 'hoot' and put it at the front of a word like  "why" transcribed as a kind of diphthong [  "oo" plus "y" ]. Crazy I know, but letter "w" can sometimes be viewed that way, and does show up that way in early childhood "invented spellings." -dh
