    Multiple letters for “s” sounds and the rest idk lol

    Edit: looks like two for “t” sounds as well. Not sure how they’re supposed to sound though.

      I’m not sure about the first and second "s"es, but the third is an “ß” (es and zet) that is still used for a sharp s sound following a long vowel… it’s still in use, for example in “Straße” (street). The second “t” is a “tz” which is also atill in use in words like Katze (cat).
