ȝeer[edit]

Would "yeer" in Middle English in fact have been written ȝeer (or ȝere) with a yogh? Varlaam (talk) 17:18, 30 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

As is typical of Middle English, the spelling varied- a lot. The answer, therefore, is yes, and no. This source should give you an idea of the range of variation. Chuck Entz (talk) 02:36, 1 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
