Has any authorities discussed the relationship of this letterform to its Roman cursive counterpart? IMHO, it would appear that the insular G was modified by someone who either did not know of the Roman square capital G letterform or did not care to keep the two similar. There's an insular form of S that looks like the Greek letter Gamma, & appears in at least one inscription in Southwest Britain, which may have evolved in the same way from the corresponding Roman cursive two-stroke shape. -- llywrch 17:52, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
