I have some doubt whether an insular g was really used for yogh in either 1366 or 1425 (I suppose the printer had it in his case), but I have seen it used with a yogh-like distribution in the 13th c. So it is cv63[2]. |

Hi (and sorry for yet another request!) - I noticed your new comments in the Record interpreter doc regarding yogh and how it often resembles an ezh, along with your solution of substituting the glyph with cv63.
Appendix D to Statutes of the Realm appears to show an insular g glyph playing a similar role, which they've dubbed to be the "Saxon character" for "y". However, the only uses of this I can find are in some Middle Scots passages in Appendix H II from the 14th and 15th centuries, where I'm reasonably certain it must be being used to represent a yogh (e.g. in balȝery and ȝow).
From 1366 (p. lxxxviii):
From 1425 (p. lxxxix):
Would it therefore please be possible to request another cv63 variant, substituting the insular g glyph?
