Exercise 11
In §2.5.3 the Tironian notes were mentioned, and §13.3.1.1 serves as a reminder of present-day practices­ of abbreviation. In §6.3.1 contractions are characterized as follows, "some went back to medieval­
manuscripts­…." You might find out more about medieval practices by looking into the ­conventions
of manuscript writing and the contractions used there. Possible starting points are ­Honkapohja (2009: §§1-3) and Trice Martin (1982 [1892]).
