Indeed.  Side comment: this use of "MHG" is pretty weird, since that usually
means "Middle High German".  You could use ModHG, analogous to ModE, or
just NHG (half translated from NHD, Neuhochdeutsch) which I see a lot of.
Anyhow, this thread had me thoroughly confused until I worked out what
language, or stage of the language, it was about!
