German. Tagged by Malpadam on 8 October 2019, not listed. J3133 (talk) 08:29, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

• I added one use with that spelling. There are more in Google books. I have a hard time reading those old German fonts. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 09:50, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
  • If by "those old German fonts" you mean Fraktur we have to be careful, because "ſz" in Fraktur is actually "ß". So at [1], for example, the search engine finds "Eszwaren" but the scan shows it's actually Eßwaren. But [2] is an unambiguous example of "Eszwaren" in Antiqua. —Mahāgaja · talk 10:08, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
    • The one I added was in a legible font, not Fraktur. I found more[3][4], but maybe this is only a rare misspelling under the influence of reading ſz as sz. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 10:44, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
      • In older texts I wouldn't call it a misspelling. There was a time when sz, ss, and ß were sort of competing ways of rendering ſz in Antiqua. —Mahāgaja · talk 11:32, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
      • Modern Philology (inside the entry) is English and [5] is Dutch. That aren't good examples for German spellings. --Schläsinger X (talk) 11:42, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

        The proceedings are mainly in Dutch, but the context around Eszwaren obviously isn't Dutch. ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 14:44, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

I've added two more quotations. I'm going to consider this
