The Z in omnibus ;-)

Hi, you appear to be the contributor who originally added this comment to viz.:

<!--

NOTE: According to E. Cobham Brewer 1810–1897. Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, the same
abbreviation mark was used for habet (hab3) and omnibus (omnib3).
I suppose it is not a Tironian note but I'll not modify the article until I will
find for sure.

-->

That HTML comment is currently a note.

I have tried to look this up in this online copy of Brewer's, but have not been successful and have not found any reference to what you said in that copy of the book. Could you clarify precisely where it says what?

Also, this may not be on you, but the note in its current form is somewhat misleading as it suggests the ⁊ (Tironian et) was used in both cases, while I think what you meant to say was that the Ȝ (yogh) was used for both.

I have posted a related comment here: Talk:Tironian notes#Z in viz.: Tironian et or yogh?

Thank you. —ReadOnlyAccount (talk) 01:25, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
