Yes, this is also used to separate e-u (which else is pronounced "oi" in german). But it occures only in some old names like "Math�us" or "Amad�us" - and is almost omitted because the letter is missing on (most) german typewriters / keyboards. And the acute in your example doesn't even look like a typo - more like a nose (too much ink), because it isn't quite in the right position. -- Dominikus Scherkl [EMAIL PROTECTED]
