[split] (lack of) scribal mistakes / corrections
#22
I forgot to mention, when I posted the Scandinavian example (where articles are indicated by endings rather than separate words), that in the Italian merchant script (and other scripts), even though articles were considered separate words, they were frequently appended to the word they preceded so that it looks like one word.

However, this makes the "words" longer than average, which would not fit the statistics of the VMS as well.
