Exciting New Discovery!



It's going to be a great day!

I believe I have just discovered something that hasn't been noted before.
The crossed Gallows cth/ckh/cph/cfh are not supposed to be EVER written in
the line initial position (only occurs 3 times in whole manuscript on f65v,
f76v, and f82v).

Secondly, and perhaps more importantly where several others would have
occured - instead of one of those specific Gallows - a Split-G exists! Not
all Split-G's can be explained by this usage, although many are still in
word-initial positions - there are those label ones too.

Now what does this mean? I don't know - any guesses? I want to fall back on
my 'drifting gallows' line of thinking with a rule that if in line initial
position - the Gallows can't be over a ch.
