Veronese Riddle
#11
In the old Italian riddle, the a that looks like a u, and also the g, are similar to those found in Visigothic texts.

The i that is used as a ligature, and has a descender, is similar to those found in some of the 12th-century Lombardic texts.


And something I keep forgetting to mention... In Carolingian texts, the double-c is frequently used for "a" (I mentioned this previously, but what I forgot to note is that in Visigothic texts, the double-c sometimes represents "t").
