Linguistic Patterns Before Decipherment: A Key to Understanding Unknown Texts

[ReneZ]

because the ZL3a-n transcription includes more material than earlier versions (such as RF1a-n),

This is not correct. ZL3a existed before RF1a. It was an input to the creation of RF1.
Both cover exacly the same amount of transcribed text. Only GC has slightly less.

This very much looks like a parsing issue, and I can only advise to use ivtt to aid in such issues.
