At the bottom of that same page, the "ch" in the word "chor" might have
first been written "shor", then the loop over the "ch" deleted.  If this
is actually the case, then the writer apparently thought it was
important to maintain the distinction.  This might be one little shred
of evidence against hoax theories, where errors like that would
presumably be irrelevant.
