EG

Gerda Arendt, is there another way of saying EG 11? I was initially confused even after reading Evangelisches Gesangbuch; can it be paraphrased as "hymn/song number"? Best, Alex Shih (talk) 04:49, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't, because EG 11, GL xy are the usual abbreviations (s. this source, for example). We could of course say "Evangelisches Gesangbuch (EG) as EG 11". Am I the only one to find that repetitive? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:15, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
