alphabetic Ugaritic: word divider error; h displaying as ḫ #381
Comments
Thanks for the detailed report! Note that Nammu receives those message from server validation and simply forwards them. @stinney is responsible for the server development, probably he can have a look at this |

@JacobLauinger and I have been working on editing texts in alphabetic Ugaritic (uga-040) using Nammu. We are following the Oracc documentation:
http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/doc/help/languages/ugaritic/index.html
Two issues have emerged:
The alphabetic cuneiform word divider is flagged as an error. The convention in the field is to use "." but the documentation demands "|". Neither worked. We deleted the word dividers and built the text, but we will need to put them back once the issue is resolved. I went to do a screen grab of the text with the error code, but the checker is not working at the moment; I'll append an example later.
Unlike Akkadian cuneiform (akk), Ugaritic has both phonemes/graphemes /h/ and /ḫ/. We need to be able to input /h/ and have it display as /h/ NOT as /ḫ/ in uga-040. For example, the text KTU3 2 11 (RS 8 315) X000001 has the lemma "hnny" which should display as "hnny" NOT "ḫnny".
Many thanks!
