It blew my mind to visit the Netherlands, and learn that in Dutch, y is traditionally regarded as a variation of ij. Sometimes it's written ÿ in order to draw attention to this equivalence. As a result, the estuary in the center of Amsterdam, the IJ, is in the running for the world's shortest place name, since it can be written as Ÿ. (It pretty much never is, though.) I noticed that the ÿ in the alphabet JKP posted is dotted, which I would think could be a big clue in placing it historically. To anyone's knowledge, does the equivalence y = ÿ = ij = ii = ī = 2 (in Roman numerals) extend beyond the Netherlands in the late Middle Ages?

On You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is the same "S" as in *53 above.
( nuss, gross, stoss ). Has also a bow. This is just the way the person writes.
And he means it exactly as he wrote it. "den mus des". In good German "dann muss das".
So and not otherwise.

Quote:40'000 letters ? If you read one every day, you would be 109 years old now, and would have done nothing else in your life.
Sorry, but now you are talking nonsense.
