RFV discussion: December 2020–October 2023
German. Tagged by Malpadam on 8 October 2019, not listed. J3133 (talk) 08:29, 1 December 2020 (UTC) I've added two more quotations. I'm going to consider this
 * I added one use with that spelling. There are more in Google books.  I have a hard time reading those old German fonts.  Vox Sciurorum (talk) 09:50, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * If by "those old German fonts" you mean we have to be careful, because "ſz" in Fraktur is actually "ß". So at, for example, the search engine finds "Eszwaren" but the scan shows it's actually . But  is an unambiguous example of "Eszwaren" in . —Mahāgaja · talk 10:08, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * The one I added was in a legible font, not Fraktur. I found more, but maybe this is only a rare misspelling under the influence of reading ſz as sz.  Vox Sciurorum (talk) 10:44, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * In older texts I wouldn't call it a misspelling. There was a time when sz, ss, and ß were sort of competing ways of rendering ſz in Antiqua. —Mahāgaja · talk 11:32, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Modern Philology (inside the entry) is English and is Dutch. That aren't good examples for German spellings. --Schläsinger X (talk) 11:42, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * The proceedings are mainly in Dutch, but the context around Eszwaren obviously isn't Dutch. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  14:44, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
