Register or Login to view.I'm still trying to understand why so many possibilities. For example: where is suffix a after ch if hapax are excluded?
It comes from cha, which occurs twice in Scribe 1, at You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and f42r. I'm using the Takahashi transcription.
The text on f8r.18 is "...daiin.chor.cha.r,cheal,cha,m". I can't understand what the Scribe did there, but there is a gallows from the next line intruding into the space between "cha" and "r". It s almost certain that the intended words were "...daiin.chor.char.cheal.cham" (or "...daiin.chor.char.cheal.chaiin" if you share my belief that m is an abbrev of iin). The word ".char." occurs 77 times in my transcription, and the word pair ".chor.char." occurs twice, not counting that one.
In my transcription of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. there is no "cha" as an isolated token. But my decisions at what is and is not a space differ from Takahashi's. Can you give the line number and/or quote the context?
All the best, --stolfi
