Personally, I won't rate the special design too high -- alltho I found
a more detailed map of Romania wich exhibits both a burg-abbreviature
for Klausenburg (romanian: Cluj) and the romanian city Bezau with a with
breve. The breve in the abbreviature is of the fancy >>semi-cyrillic<<
shape, the one in Bezau is a vanilla breve. And there are very fancy
commata below the romanian s and t.
