# ull

fragment (ull — not a standard English word)

«ull» in the English dictionary: everyday — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## Everyday

1. «Ull» is not a word by itself. It is usually a piece of a longer word or a clipped spelling: «you'll» or «it'll» written carelessly, or the end of words such as «full», «dull», «skull», «hull». [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/U/ull/#m1)
2. Hull (with H and a capital) is a city in England; in some local accents people drop the h and say «'Ull». [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/U/ull/#m2)

### In the lessons

It may appear in text as a typo, in dialogue showing a dropped h («'Ull» for Hull), or as a cut-off part of a word. A reader should look at nearby words to guess what was meant.

### Examples

- «Ull be late,» he mumbled, meaning «I'll be late». [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/U/ull/#x1)
- The words full, dull and skull all end in «ull». [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/U/ull/#x2)
- He's from 'Ull, he said, meaning the city of Hull. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/U/ull/#x3)
- If you see «ull» alone, check whether a letter is missing. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/U/ull/#x4)

### Note

Not a dictionary word on its own. Rhyming words: dull, gull, hull, skull, null. Note the two sounds: «full» and «pull» rhyme with each other, but «dull» and «gull» have a different vowel.
