One possibility is the unit &quot;gauss&quot; (which, like the person, is Gauß in German).<p>I was trying to figure out whether the spelling &quot;Delikateßen&quot; was ever standard (it would have been &quot;-essen&quot; even before the spelling reform, I think). I found some old books with a Google search that did use that form, but I don&#x27;t know if it was ever standard or was a variant spelling.
