Insular G



Insular G ([is a form of the letter g] resembling a tailed z, used in the [[British Isles. It was first used by the Irish, passed into Old English, and developed into the Middle English letter yogh; Middle English, having reborrowed the familiar Carolingian g from the Continent, thus used two forms of g as separate letters.
