More than likely, your "ul" is a form of "al" that is eliding with the previous word.

For example: "Amir" means "prince". In proper grammar, it will end with an "u" sound to create "Amiru". "Balad" means country. (And "al-" means "the"). If I wish to say "Prince of the Country", in theory, I would say "Amiru al-Balad" but the u-a sounds weird, so most people end up saying "Amir ul-Balad". Hence the "ul".

Otherwise, it maybe 3aul (عول) which refers to a "wail" or "moan".
