RE: VMs: Image Source, Accuracy of Transcriptions



I stand by what I said.  Unless I totally misunderstand what you are saying, but I see 'f' and 'p' all over the place, not just at the beginning of lines or even the beginning of words.  That was just the first page I looked at.  The second page I looked at (f36r) has the same thing.  The third page (f48r) again, 'f' and/or 'p'  within the text. 
 
Am I missing something?  3 pages I looked at and all three had 'f' and/or 'p' within the text.  I could look more, but feel I must be misunderstanding something.

Larry,
 
    I think you'll find Rene is accurate in the earlier statement. 'f' and 'p' occur on Paragraph initial lines and
some labels. You won't find any that aren't on a first line of a paragraph (and if you do - it's probably a
first line of a paragraph that wasn't separated out smoothly by the author).
 
John.

Take a look at f114r.  You will see 'f' amd 'p' throughout the page.
 
example words:
 
pchcos  podair  ocphy
ofchedaiis cfhdy
 
there are a lot more.

Hi!

There is a major distinction between on the one
hand k and t, and on the other hand f and p.
k and t have two legs and can appear anywhere.
f and p have one leg and appear (to my knowledge)
only on top lines of paragraphs, and I think
also in some labels.

If you're aware of any number of f or
p characters in other locations, I'd be very
interested to know of them.

Cheers, Rene
