u - (n.) In traditional logic, a statement some condition applies ONLY if another condition applies.

e.g., Traditional logic used "A" for positive generalizations, "E" for negative generalizations, "I" for positive particulars, and "O" for negative particulars, thus: A: Everyone who was invited came to the party. E: No one who was invited came to the party. I: Some of those who were invited came to the party. O: Some of those who were invited did not come to the party. A "U" statement would thus be something like this: U: Only those who were invited came to the party.
