If ee is a bench then is ii a bench as well? I think it is clear that transcriptions are error prone due to fading and overwriting by a potential retracer who either had no idea what the correct character should be or was correcting a perceived error. Do we have any idea of the dating difference between original and retraced inks?
A little struggle for me is where the ee bench is in an eee because an e suffix could belong to the preceding character giving e ee or following this ee bench giving ee e. How does one know what character gets the suffix?
Happy New Year!
