@Knyȝt Is this the correct entry name? Compare *uzlagą, which has orlǫg. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 14:18, 18 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Also note that Category:Old Norse lemmas has only three lemmas starting with ø.. but WT:ANON doesn't mention that letter at all in its normalisation guidelines. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 14:21, 18 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

That guide just deals with the basics. Since Icelandic sometimes is used instead of Old Norse, ø and ǫ are sometimes both written as ö. And of course, in some Old Norse words, ø and ǫ are variant forms, and then it doesn’t seem like it would matter. But we shouldn’t write ǫrendi instead of ørendi, because these are in fact different sounds, and they can have very different origins and descendants. Here are some books that use the ’ørlǫg’ spelling as standard: 1, 2, 3. — Knyȝt 15:48, 18 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Knyȝt Ah alright. I'll amend the P.Gmc. entry, then — Mnemosientje (t · c) 15:50, 18 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
