NO!
I mean that œ is not the equivalent of ae, which is what trubs wrote.
The equivalent of ae would be æ. Or vice versa.
This way of writing or printing diphthongs is purely a modern typographical convention. The Greeks and Romans would have none of it.
(Excellent thread.)

Mishpocha -- the entire family network of relatives by blood or marriage (and sometimes close friends) So much better than ''extended family''.
