Talk:Claudian letters

replies: text: Not sure why it wold make more sense. Surely Roman inscriptions at the Claudian period normally had serifs? --rossb 20:00, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

text: His first innovation, however, would not catch on for about 600 years, when W was derived from a ligature of two Vs.
I can't find anything at W to suggest that it had anything to do with the Claudian letters, or see any apparent connection... Am I missing something that is not clear? ፈቃደ (ውይይት) 22:39, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

text: I think the 'innovation' was meant to be 'the use of a separate letter for consonantal V than vocalic V', not the use of any particular letter shape to do so.  —Muke Tever talk 22:55, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: none of his innovations 'caught on'; no letter for /ps/ or /ɪ/ [except for Eihwaz?] were ever introduced, and Ƿ, w < uu was an independent Germanic idea. dab (ᛏ) 12:31, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Probably inventor of "Roman daily gazette" was google translator :-) There wasn't such thing, Suetonius wrote about [state] registers... I fixed it. 95.51.201.218 (talk) 15:33, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

message: The text by Suetonius cited as reference clearly state that the half H was created to repredent the so-called sonus medius and not the Greek upsilon which had been transcribed with Y since the I century BC.--Carnby (talk) 21:31, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: No, the text by Suetonius says "three new letters", and refers to Claudii lost (?) "instruction manual" for them, without further specifying their form or usage. ... said: Rursus (bork²) 10:32, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

text: I believe you're out for Quintilian who has an extensive treaty on letters and pronunciations, including descriptions on the Claudian letters. ... said: Rursus (bork²) 10:35, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Half H 

message: :«Ⱶ, a half H to represent the so-called sonus medius, a short vowel sound between U and I before labial consonants in Latin words such as optumus/optimus»
optumus/optimus? Come on. You know better examples than ones with U and I in reverse order. -- 03:09, 6 January 2013‎ 88.90.229.203
