Also for the song sung in chapter-4-6 (line 18-29):

<blockquote epub:type="z3998:song" xml:lang="la">
    <p>
        <span><i>San⁠—cta Mari-i-i-a</i>,</span>
    </p>
</blockquote>
<p class="continued">wailed Raoul from the organ loft;</p>
<blockquote epub:type="z3998:song" xml:lang="la">
    <p>
        <span>
            <i>O⁠—ra pro no-o-bis!</i>
        </span>
    </p>
</blockquote>

The dash between San and cta and O and ra should not be an em dash, nor should the once in between Maria and nobis, in all cases these should be Non-break hyphens (‑ or U+2011). See (here)[https://standardebooks.org/manual/1.6.1/single-page#8.7.7.6)

Same deal with Hoo, hoo-o-o-o in chapter 1-1 line 45, and elsewhere

Another one is chapter 3-1 line 15: I ta-ank I save up,

same chapter: “No, yust las’ night I ma-ake. See dis tread; verra strong, no wa-ash out, no fade. My sister send from Sveden. I yust-a ta-ank you like dis.”</p>

Ibid. “I yust ta-ake a liddle yelly now, too, I ta-ank.”</p>

Thanks, Matt. I'm going through all my regular hyphens right now to find vernacular phrases like these and replace the necessary ones with non-breaking ones.
