Thanks for speedy response, Trevor. Just to clarify my observation, the tokens were not plain hyphens, but a "hyphen wrapped within parentheses". i.e. if I wrap the token in quotes here, "(-)".
This just looks as though it was unintended, and is therefore most likely to be an artefact. Here are some examples: Gen 13:10 Da så Lot ut over landet, og han så at hele Jordan-sletten like til Soar overalt var rik på vann, som Herrens have, som Egyptens land(-)det var før Herren hadde ødelagt Sodoma og Gomorra. Gen 14:6 og horittene på deres fjell(-)Se'r-fjellene(-)like til El-Paran ved utkanten av ørkenen. -- David Trevor Jenkins wrote: > > On Sat, 12 Jul 2008, David Haslam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> I have just discovered that there are 1286 occurrences of the token (-) >> in >> the text of the Norwegian Bible module Den Norsk Bibelen. > > That might be correct.
