Re: VMs: Re: Cappelli's abbreviations

[Bruce Grant <bgrant@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On page 24, Cappelli lists two signs which look like a "9": a large one 
with versions like the Currier "9" and "2" characters, reading "con", 
"cum", etc. and a smaller one, also like a "9",  with the readings "us", 
"os", "is", "s".

If I understood your question you were asking if the same sign is used 
for other cases - just leafing through the book I couldn't find any 
examples of the same abbreviation being used for different case endings, 
though there were a number where an additional letter was added to an 
abbreviation to clarify the case ending, for example, "id" and "im"  
(with the second letter smaller and raised) to represent "illud" and 
"illum".
