Vord paradigm tool

[ReneZ]

Therefore I find the idea of a scribe who did not understand what he was copying as explanation for weird words unconvincing.

I'm not trying to convince anyone, and I am not even convinced myself. However, for me it remains a possibility that I am not yet ready to discard.
(While this question is only marginal to the topic of this thread, the whole issue about corrections or not is a big issue in itself. I don't want to go into it here)

There are two separate questions:
- is the MS that has come down to us a copy from a draft?
- if it was a copy, could the scribe understand the text?
I think that most of the arguments presented address the first question, and especially some of the more complicated diagrams would have been easier to make in two stages. There is nothing in the arguments that suggests whether or not the scribe could read the text.

This question allows for a lot of speculation, and in fact, even if at some point the text has been translated, we might still not know the answer to this question. It could be a topic for another thread.
