Great post! I'm currently in the thick of trying to figure out what to make of some glosses, so it's nice to see someone with more experience do a clear piece like this.

Thank you so much for the wonderful comment and for reading! Glosses are such an adventure in and of themselves! Will you be posting the net of your current research eventually on Ent Work?

I plan to post about what I'm seeing in a couple of glosses, yes - but I feel I'm on shakier ground with them than with other kinds of evidence. So it'll be more like notes/speculation. Best case scenario, I post some nonsense and someone shows up to correct it!

Or, an even better-case scenario, you offer new perspective and illuminating pathways that nobody has yet considered!! Looking forward to reading your thoughts when they're ready for their public consumption!

"Canon" rather than "cannon" please, when it applies to an accepted corpus of written works.

Thanks for catching that typo! To err is human, not AI. ;)

Perhaps, in the future, people will need to gloss books and articles being written today in order to interpret the things that autocorrect did to them :)
