But this is not unusual at all in that time. The origin of many diacritics is that letters were conventionally written one over (or under) the other. This is the source of the umlaut mark (originally an <I>e</I>), the tilde (originally an <I>n</I> or <I>m</I>), and the cedilla (originally a <I>z</I>, hence the name, lit. little <I>z</I>).Richard A.
