Hi all,
Second, I want to comment on the Option for Sharp S and double S with
no variant relationship. I have a question for those who are more
fluent in German than I -- which is most of you. Are there any
examples of two different German words which are identical except that
one is rendered with a Sharp S and the other is rendered strictly with
a double S?
In short - many: masse vs maße, reisen vs reißen, weise vs weiße, muse
vs muße, busen vs bußen. And those examples don‘t even include proper
names, such as personal or place names, which should be more than the
examples from the lexicon.
Just a short comment: most of the examples don't have a double S, but
only a single one.
You‘re absolutely right - These examples are a mix of s vs. ß and ss vs. ß. I copied these over from some website on orthography, and didn‘t take the time to really look at them - sorry about that. If the group needs further examples I will have to consult some proper sources.
So I guess they're not relevant. However your first case
* Masse and Maße (mass and measurements) as well as
* Rußen and Russen (sooting and Russians)
would be two examples.
I will now catch up with the other topics and talk to you all this Thursday.
Cheers,
Michael
