Ron, et alia:

There was a transitional period twixt OE and Middle English where this G = W
thing happened and there was even a special letter for it. It looked like an
angular 3 and I think it was called a Yod but I may be getting my
Hebrew/Yiddish involved here since the REAL Yod came into existence in the
16th or 17th c.

But I know this letter existed. I don't see it in my Battle of Maldon but
later citations, p'raps.   Thoughts?

Alles beste
