dear henry and other masoretes,
been working on a full theory of the syntactic projection of pausal
phonology. have been keen on identifying the darks (after the spy
satellites called darks in the movie Contact): where pause ought to
be, but the form does not show variation. think we're almost there.
put together a database of 2237 predicted darks. crossclassified them
by accents in the 21 books.
cheers
V
