word "flos" - correct "slos"

[edit]

"In later docoments it is described as an arx, Castrum, flos and Burg" flos should be "slos" as "schloß" (= castle). In German letters "S" is like smal letter "f" without "-" . S had more forms, like ß for double ss (stil in use in Germany) and a special letter for letter "S" on the end of the word. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.37.4.119 (talk) 10:08, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well please take that up on German Wikipedia which also says flos. I think they are deliberately using archaic spelling though. Incidentally English also used to use an 'f' for an 's'. --Bermicourt (talk) 16:09, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
