But note that at the time period concerned spellings of
gentile languages were quite flexible, so that for example
"c" and "k" were often used interchageably, the same with
"i", "j", "y" or "u", "v", "w", "vv", "uu", or "s", "z" and so on.
More examples could be made for clusters ("ch", "cz"), and then
there are different glyphs like "s" and "long-s" or ligatures
like "double-s", "tz", "fi", etc.

Best regards,

Rafal
