Re: Gallows G characters

John hit the nail on the head, when he wrote about the

Eva transcription alphabet:

I know that Glen can't use Eva for his analysis 
since he prefers to treat some characters which
are transcribed as one in Eva as different ones.
Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Glen:
In particular, this is the Eva character 'sh' which is
Currier-Z, and which you call a picnic table, even
though, traditionally, the picnic table is a rare 
character which Currier did not transcribe, and 
which is Eva-x.

More people will be able to understand posts on
this list if one uses (even if only in 
parentheses) the Eva, Frogguy or Currier alphabets
which almost everone on the list will be familiar
with.

This is true. The alphabet is used for all characters
which occur at least 10 times in the MS (according
to our transcription) and everything else (including
the split gallows) is 'demoted' to a numerical
code (of which there are many more than the set
of normal characters.)

Cheers, Rene
