Further detail from Notes volume:
“Orm supplemented the current graphic methods by devices of his own. Thus he systematically doubled a consonant after a short vowel in a closed syllable, so tunnderrstanndenn 109. Whether he meant thereby to indicate shortness of the vowel or length of the consonant is disputed.... Where the consonant after an open syllable is in fact short, Orm often places a breve over the preceding short vowel.... Likewise he uses very seldom an almost horizontal accent to indicate vowel length, as á 174, but more frequently, as if to emphasize his warning against possible error, doubles it ... even for greater insistence trebles it ... mostly before final t.
“Furthermore, Orm invented a special symbol {g} with a flat top projecting on both sides for the guttural stop g, reserving the continental g for the dzh sound in such words as egge (edge), leggen, seggen: the latter occurs in this extract only in gluternesse 167, and that by mistake.”
This page image shows all three “g” forms, with Orm’s unique {g} in the first line, and insular “g” in the third. Note that the ordinary (“continental”) “g” form is regularly used in “ng”.
In this e-text, ordinary capital G was used for capital insular g (ᵹ), because font support for the correct form Ᵹ (hex A77D) is extemely limited. The printed linenotes almost always use yogh (ȝ) for insular g (ᵹ), plain g for Orm’s unique {g}. Lines have been split at the caesura for cleaner display.
