Quote:words beginning with [q] have two particular relationships. The first is that a word starting [q] must have a valid counterpart word starting [o], and it is not enough for the plain word without either [q] or [o] to exist. Conversely, even if the [o] form exists, that does not mean that the [q] form will.You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

For point 1), we know that there are transcription errors. That situation may improve over time, but there's a real possibility that words with one token have been misread. Likewise, there is an unknowable number of writing errors. We can never identify them until we can read the text.

Quote:I don't know why some words are unlike the rest. They should be studied and may even yield a lot of information about the text. But rules which attempt to include them would stretch so wide as to become useless. My goal is not to describe the text in detail but to typify it into patterns.

Quote:Maybe they are names, dates, numbers, corss-references, or place-names, information that is only occasionally or situationally relevant.By they should all comply with the language rules, (here I extrapolate from known natural languages ) unless they are loan words - in which case, how is the encoding system working if it is bending a bigraph?
