 |In German orthography, double consonants mark the preceding vowel as

Thank you very much.  I really lost all my knowledge except what
"came in with the mother milk", so to say.
There exist names "Gaß", and the community Külz has a district
"Gaß".  Funnily, maybe, if i search Google for Külz and use the
Map to zoom in, one sees "Gass", but as you zoom in, very nearby,
"Gass" changes to "Gaß".  Haha!  That one goes to Doug Ewell!!
