@trinsec @freemo to me it almost looks like it's going towards the traditional s in Germanic

@barefootstache @freemo We had that kins of 's' too in old Dutch. That's annoying to read.

Only a lise lived sor others is a lise worth living.
Hehehe.

@trinsec

Its in english too, it is called the long s and existed along side the modern short s.

@barefootstache

@trinsec
In old french:
F are S
V are U
Vowels with ^ (ê,ô etc) are vowels + ST

There must be more...

@barefootstache @freemo

@barefootstache

Yes I agree it looks identical to the archaic "long s". Though I think modern readers would identify it as an f especially with the cross.

@trinsec

@freemo

From what I gathered when comparing the long s and f in historical texts is that the main difference was that the f usually had the horizontal line, which we still see today.
