In the old Italian riddle, the a that looks like a u, and also the g, are similar to those found in Visigothic texts.

The i that is used as a ligature, and has a descender, is similar to those found in some of the 12th-century Lombardic texts.


And something I keep forgetting to mention... In Carolingian texts, the double-c is frequently used for "a" (I mentioned this previously, but what I forgot to note is that in Visigothic texts, the double-c sometimes represents "t").
I guess there's a tradition of these riddles. I came across another one...

De summo planus, sed non ego planus in imo,
Versor utrimque manu: diverso munere fungor.
Altera pars revocat, quidquid pars altera fecit. 


I'll let you try to figure it out and hide the answer under a spoiler...
