Usage notes
- Although phased out in the Swedish spelling reform of 1906, this spelling can still be seen in surnames of nobility, such as af Geijerstam and af 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).
