From a59c535660dbc90c32ff4c7a839979818de4d409 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Ellison Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 14:58:05 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Give the weaver's look the attenuator it wanted The line rendered Morris's shade of anxiousness with the size word thiku standing before the adjective weshoru, which left two readings open: a slight anxiety or a small look. The maintainer rules it the first, so the attenuator la lowers the degree of the anxiety and the look keeps its own shape. This closes the last open item of the conflation sweep. --- texts/news_from_nowhere/chapter_03.md | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/texts/news_from_nowhere/chapter_03.md b/texts/news_from_nowhere/chapter_03.md index 521b9854..0c2debd0 100644 --- a/texts/news_from_nowhere/chapter_03.md +++ b/texts/news_from_nowhere/chapter_03.md @@ -364,9 +364,9 @@ COND PL 2SG want.
