Time for the yearly yong - yony discussion 
It's absolutely, 100% "yong". Arguments:
* The initial "y" is different.
* compare to "g" in "augst" (this is much more cramped, so it's harder to tell the crossbar apart from the minims)
* This was a common way of writing "g"
* "ng" ending for the month is not strange at all
In other words, it behaves more like "g" than like "y" in this hand. It looks like "g" in similar hands. And -ng ending is expected (check eggyk's added block).
