Meaning

Represents:

In Irish: ar

In Latin: quod

Comments:

A symbol that is mainly used for Latin quod. The Irish meaning ar may be rare: it is attested in the Book of Uí Maine version of Sanas Cormaic, where it used for the headword Oar. For early uses in Latin, see W. M. Lindsay, Notae Latinae: an account of abbreviation in Latin mss. of the early minuscule period, c. 700-850 (1915): 254-260
