Hi All,

I'm forwarding it anyways, since I haven't posted the policy in a while

in the first place. Please don't reply to the list for this message, but
reply to the original poster. I'll post the moderation policy in a
separate message.

Best,

Andrew

Subject: Grapheme yogh

Several Middle Cornish (1200 - 1600 AD) texts use a
grapheme known as 'yogh'. This grapheme resembles a sort
of long-tailed 'z'. In texts that do not use yogh, yogh
is replaced by 'th' or 'dh'. Can any of the list
subscribers tell me if 'yogh' was used in other Celtic
languages of the Early or Middle periods?
