Re: VMs: vms sentences

["Larry Roux" <lroux@xxxxxxx>]

OK, here is an example:

Look at any of the final pages with lots of text.  Take 115v for
instance....

The page is a run over from the previous page so the first character of
the first line is a "t".  The characters/lines progress until there is
an obvious break. 

The next text grouping is on line 6 which starts with a "p".  This is a
new paragraph.  There are 2 more sentences in this group.  Line 8
(starts with a "t" and line 11 (starts with a "t").

Line 13 is another new paragraph (starts with a "p").

The whole page (and all of the pages) work just like this.

I am not sure what internal 'p's and 't's mean yet, but I know for a
fact that for the left most character in a line the p or t has meaning
related to sentences/paragraphs.  I very much doubt this is a red
herring.

This also means that transcriptions should remove "p"s and "t"s when
they begin sentences/paragraphs.  The first word of f115v is not tchedor
but chedor

If you can see some consistency there, please tell me what it is so that
I 
can see it too.

The patterns I see are more to do with Neal keys - short sets of text 
(typically 2/3rds along the top line of a paragraph) enclosed by pairs
of 
single-leg gallows. But nothing obviously to do with EVA <t>.
