Interesting. I had somehow read halfway through the text in the image not even noticing them, but got completely stuck at "preuaile". When I saw it there, I could only see it as the yogh character, maybe because it has a tail that make it look more like a modern 3 than a modern 2.
I guess yogh was obsoleted long before this text though as there as several of "gh" and "ch" clusters e.g. "chastise", "chased" and "fought".
- thaumasiotes 2y agoWould yogh be expected in any earlier form of "chase" or "chastise"? Does it represent /tʃ/ anywhere?
- ralferoo 2y agoI was specifically thinking of its use in words like night, not sure what I was thinking when I used those examples... was just scanning the text quickly for some ch clusters and didn't think too much about the words!
