Re: Sample of german -burg abbreviature

[Michael Everson]

I see no reason given for us not to unify the 
handwritten symbol we have seen with BREVE ABOVE. 
In the environment described, apparently bg is 
taken as an abbreviation for berg, and b�g (with 
breve) is being used as an abbreviation for burg. 
The breve is the same as was used in German to 
differentiate u from n.

The thing in those examples shown as a curly 
thing between the b and the g should be encoded 
as a brever over the b.

That's my opinion, anyway.
