Archaic spelling ofav Although phased out in theSwedish spelling reform of 1906 , this spelling can still be seen insurnames ofnobility , such asaf Geijerstam andaf Wisborg . Appears in some examples on Wiktionary that are actually quotes, where it should probably be replaced with "av" (along with other language modernization, or with the example marked as having archaic language – or moved into a quote). (Thisetymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at theEtymology scriptorium .)
