'''The old letter Yogh'''<br>
Yogh (ȝogh) is an old letter that may be encountered when looking at some very old documents. It resembles the number 3 or a cursive Z. This represents a "y" sound. Later the yogh was turned into Y. It ended up fossilized as a Z in some words and names. McKenzie and Menzies, for example, would have originally been written with a yogh, i.e. McKenȝie and Menȝies.
