@ age No, that's not true; the “s” shaped like an 8 also appeared within words, i know the "rules", but rules are not rules like today...

Got some examples?

@ Age

But I have something really nice for you here (and for me, too).

The word “chreucz” for “cross” (cruzifix) at the very bottom—there, the “c” and the ‘z’ have merged to form a “g.”

And at the top, there’s even “chreuczes” with two merged glyphen — once as “cz” and once as “ez” ?? or "sz" ??  (the letter "e" I assume based on the possible genitive case).

In short, here we have written proof (!) that the “g” in “gas” can be a “cz” (or  an “ez” too.)

I'll find that, too.

But he wrote the “d” differently, as you can see in aladabas.

It's far from a normal writing of 'd' or 's' but why not.

Has anyone suggested "balden" yet?

There has long been talk of "palden" meaning "soon" or something the like, but I don't recall if this was based on any attestations or just dictionary magic.

Jojo: looking forward to it.

The question is: when and where did he learn to write like that?
The 8 written as a ‘d’ isn’t far off. It’s just a bit harder to understand because of the shift in sound.
And yes, ‘palden’ has already been discussed.
In Alemannic, it’s two words: ‘pald-en’ – ‘bald ein / bald ihn’.  ‘bald’ (soon) and ‘ihn’ (him).  en / one
