Aaron S Wrote:For other cases, you have to look at the words in the context of the ambiguity to resolve it; if you were not given the image showing the diaeresis, you would look at the previous word (or the word after the next) which shows in the suffix information that we're dealing with a plural subject.Ok, that is some solution, but it CAN lead to error, to false readings. Especially when ALL words in Silver's transcriptions are devoid of dots.
