"Abnormal" words

[Mark Knowles]

I would have to consider them on a case by case basis.

My main point is that you should expect a large number of errors in the transcription (any transcription).  

I would guess at least one error every 10 lines.  Including substituted glyphs (especially a/o/y, r/s, k/t, Ih/Ch/ee, ..), skipped or extraneous glyphs, missing or bogus word spaces, weirdos...  

Erros can be created by the Author when he wrote the draft, by the Scribe, by the worms, stains, and other accidents, by the restorers and retouchers, and by the transcribers...

All the best, --stolfi

I feel it reasonable to view something as containing an error when there is evidence or a strong argument for it. However I would be very reluctant to consider all seemingly distinctive words to contain errors by virtue of the fact they are distinctive.

I welcome all and every suggestion or criticism of any item on my list. As I said this is a first draft and so I expect to make changes to.it.
