*ego:)? That hardly counts as "much, much more common" than anything.

For what it's worth: the libretto to Stravinski's "Oedipus Rex"
(written in French, translated by a classical scholar) has a "Eg'
Oedipus". I suppose the translator was using good models for his
translation, if it's not just a case of "one of the vowels must go"
in the context -V#V- (as still in "La Donna é mobile", -a é- -> - ´e-
).
