Either I misunderstand the ledger, or it produces a huge number of unattested words, ones that would be expected if using the proposed copy+mutate method. For example, dain is a common word, so its simple mutations should be common, correct?
The following are simple mutations of dain and seem to pass the ledger test, while never appear in the whole manuscript, as far as I know:
dein (doesn't appear in the MS)
daon (doesn't appear in the MS)
diin (absent as a word, otaldiin appears once)
gain (doesn't appear in the MS)
main (doesn't appear in the MS)
daiy (doesn't appear in the MS)
and I think I can generate 10+ more.
Edit: I removed two examples from the list - dais and daid, I probably skipped over them when testing, they do appear at least once each. In any case, dain appears more than 400 times in the MS. 'y' is a very common word ending character. daiy is valid according to the ledger, I would expect dozens if not a hundred of daiy's in the MS, why aren't there any?
