     The examples presented here are similar to the nus shown below in figure 1. In each case, the diagonal stroke of a capital nu does not intersect the right vertical stroke at the bottom but somewhere above it. The intersection of these two strokes is also above the bottom right serif, if any, and does not include it. Most importantly, at the point of juncture with the right vertical stroke, the diagonal stroke has turned upwards to the right as in Thiede's reconstructed nu or is horizontal.

     The type of nus that are not included in this list of examples are shown below in figure 2. In these cases the diagonal stroke still slants downwards to the right where it meets the right vertical stroke. Although the diagonal stroke may begin to curve upward, it still slopes downward at its bottom or right-hand terminus.

     The list that follows includes thumbnail images of all the examples. Click on any thumbnail image or hyperlink to access a copy of the image that was the source for the thumbnail, along with bibliographical and other pertinent information.
