Thank you – it’s not only a German habit, even if we pronounce it “folgende”,
“f.” stems from Latin “folio”, and “ff.” is a duplicated abbreviation, as was
usual in mediaeval Latin.
So, this is at least used in English, German, Norwegian and Swedish, as far as
I could find. In French they seem to use “sq.” and “sqq.” (sequens).
I’m not sure the abbreviation for “folio” has anything to do with our German
“folgende”; if you have a link for this, I would like to know. And for the
record: “ff.” for page ranges is now discouraged in most scholarly
publications; journals and publishers now say f. for x - x+1, or exact page
numbers.
it has nothing do do with "folgende", but it is often used because it
means nearly the same.
folium = {
de = {”f”, ”ff”},
en = {”f”, ”ff”},
fr = {”\,sq”,”\,sqq”},
jp = {”シンボル”,”番号”},
}
