Figures 1 and 5 show phi and o-slash forms.  Would a German discussion
of Old English have any problem with 'g' being used for the forerunner
of yogh?  The printed forms of the Polish letter are distorted by the
highlighting - red circles would be more legible.  The examples are
especially hard to locate in Figure 5.
