Hello,

I don't know if this an encoding problem, but the various citations
you give below seem to be corrupt, full of punctuation marks such as
paragraph signs, division signs, ess-zetts (if that's how you spell
it), and other various mixtures of Greek and Euro-Latin characters that
make it impossible to know what the real forms actually are.  Would it
be possible to use Unicode/UTF-8 when citing original forms?
