Murray	old typography in ballads (yogh) (7)	RE: old typography in ballads	23 Aug 97
It's called "yogh", supposedly a form of the letter "g", which got its own varied value--"y" [as in "yoke"] at the beginning of words, and "kh" [= Scots ch as in "loch"] at the end; in the middle of words, sometimes one, sometimes the other, sometimes GH [which doesn't occur any more]. I should think generally you can transliterate it by either Y or GH, depending on the word.
