Redirect

I've created a page Category:Palaeographic letters that redirects here. Several of the letters in this category— ð (eth), ȝ (yogh), and þ (thorn) at least– are not variants of other letters, like ſ (long s), but true letters on their own. That some of them originated as variants (yogh "was derived from the Old English form of the letter g"), or have come to be regarded as such ("In Middle English writing, tailed z came to be indistinguishable from yogh"), is no more relevant to their status than the origin of G as a variant of C. --Thnidu (talk) 01:55, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
