This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

What the hickety heck is going on between lowercase R and X?
Multiple letters for "s" sounds and the rest idk lol
Edit: looks like two for "t" sounds as well. Not sure how they're supposed to sound though.
I'm not sure about the first and second "s"es, but the third is an "Γ" (es and zet) that is still used for a sharp s sound following a long vowel... it's still in use, for example in "StraΓe" (street). The second "t" is a "tz" which is also atill in use in words like Katze (cat).
The first one is a long s, the second is the "normal" s.
I expected Γ but then the extra letters kept going lol
