@thomasincambodia For the time being, you can communicate additional corrections via comments in this issue.

One German question: There are several; other 'hoher' words that were not changed to höher. And in at least one case, the scan shows 'hoher'. Both deepL and Google translate both words to English 'higher'. How to understand?

actually I meant the instance where the scan shows "hoher"; and one instance with the English translation is "higher" for both "hoher" and "höher".

maltenth commented 2 years ago

generally speaking "hoher" is the adjectival form of "hoch" = "high" with the masculine ending "-er". "höher" = "higher" ist the comparative form of "hoch"

funderburkjim commented 2 years ago

OK. That answers my question: "hoher" = "high" (adjective) , "höher" = "higher" (comparative) So either spelling could be correct, depending on the context. The 'hoher' example: image

with deepL translation of hoher as 'high'

D181 
On the breast of the virgin- 
of wonderful youth rises a 
high bosom, her eyes are very elongated ...

deepL oddity:

image

but reverse the order:
