s. Kommentar oben :)
agree Ralf Lemster : Jo, mache mer "et seq." draus, und dann passt des...
6 mins
jein, s. Kommentar :)
neutral Maria Ferstl : Nicht "fortfolgende", sondern die Verdopplung bezeichnet den Plural. Wie in seqq. (Was stört die anderen daran? Zu altmodisch?)
13 mins
agree zu Plural, aber fortfolgende ist trotzdem nicht falsch, s. oben
agree Derek Gill Franßen : I quote: "Isn't et seqq a wonderfully academic abbreviation worthy of any reference library?" (source: A forum on the works of Shakespeare). Ich finde es nicht zu altmodisch sondern passend.
