Hi folks,

GHz is a unique word. It's to be brailled like this (read in 8-dot
computer braille):

,g,hz

I can't hit on a table entry to cause this though. No matter what I
put in the table brltty brailles it (8-dot computer braille again):

,,<,'z

A friend of mine hit on what seems proper logic: Since G is a metric
abbreviation in its own right, it can't be included with Hz, a
separate abbreviation.

At any rate, here are some examples of proper contraction:

 7up f #b.d ,g,hz7 & us+ ,9tel's new1
 ,g,hz 6#a.g ,g,hz pump$ up ! frontside
 at #a.d ,g,hz4 ,al? x uses ! old

Have fun,
