Register or Login to view.If you are suggesting or arguing for a different letter than "ll" due to this dramatic height difference in the ascenders, there is always the possibility of "adder" (as in a snake) rather than "aller".
It would be highly unusual for a figure-8 style "d" to be angular or for the lower loop to be so tiny, but I like your suggestion to try to look at it from a different point of view, possibly as a different letter entirely (I'm not sure which one, but it's strange that the ascenders are so short).
A strange idea would be a "b": The double letter would be most unusual, but if somehow "abber" = "aber", then not only German (meaning "but") but also Aragonese (meaning "to have") are possibilities.
