Thanks Stephen for clearing this up. I do kind of wonder why the editors of
NA27 thought that it was worth inserting this symbol to mark such an arcane
factoid. It is a distraction when trying to read the text to find a big bold
asterisk right in the middle of something, but NA27 is full of other
distractions so I guess it doesn't make matters much worse.
Would be nice to have a plain GNT for reading and discourse analysis. But we
all have computers and printers so we can make our own.
greetings,
Clay
