Grove's Titles

From voynich.nu
>>
The term 'titles' was introduced by John Grove.
This term is related to the layout of the last lines of some paragraphs.
Normally, these last lines are left-justified and do not reach the right margin.

Three alternative formats are used occasionally:
The last line is short and centred
The last line is short and right-justified
The last line is left-justified, but has additional words that are right-justified

The last example is strictly speaking what John Grove called titles, but all three cases are of interest.
17 pages that include centred end lines,
11 pages with right-justified end lines,
05 pages that use 'titles'.

Some brief chat on the old mailing list about 'catchwords':

Some stuff here, which leads to the suggestion they are unfinished parts of sentences:

A good example is on folio You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. where all 3 paragraphs have 'Titles'.

To quote VViews from the above thread:
"My questions remain: what can these "titles" be? What is their role? Why is their layout like that?"

Answers to VViews questions and any additional information would be most welcome.
