Session 3: Reading the published research

The draft met the literature: Davis's five scribes (2020) replaced "two or three hands"; Greshko's Naibbe cipher (2025) was weighed against the readings; Bowern and Lindemann's morphological measures moved the "Arabic grammar" idea to a structural analogy; Leiden conventions were adopted for transcribed readings; a 16-chapter book was planned.
