Hello everybody,
I am working on a proposal to encode letters which occur in 19th century
Latvian and early 20th century Lower Sorbian orthography.
These are the slashed versions of G/g, K/k, N/n, R/r, and S/s.
All of these occur in 19th century Latvian; the slashed S/s occurs in
early 20th century Lower Sorbian.
You find the draft of my proposal (entitled: "Proposal to encode 10 Latin
letters with diagonal stroke") at:
http://www.pentzlin.com/Diagonalstrokes.pdf
To complete this proposal, I need any scans or digital photographs
from text containing the proposed letters, with the bibliographical
information regarding these texts.
(Especially, I hope to get more appropriate examples of 19th century
Latvian orthography as the fig. 2 contained in the 2008-10-26 draft
of my proposal.)
I would appreciate any such texts or any other comments regarding my
proposal, especially if I could get them in time to finish my proposal
this week (last week of October 2008), in time to the next UTC meeting.
You can mail me privately to (in English or German):
karl-pentzlin (at) europatastatur (dot) de.
Many thanks in advance for any help.
Best wishes
Karl Pentzlin
