You know, I’ve been wondering about that for a while now, but it never occurred to me to look for hapaxes (nor had I been aware of the phrase). I have just learned a new technique, for which I have learned a cool new word, which helps solve a problem I actually had. If I endorsed upvoting multiple times, I would upvote you multiple times; as it is, you’ll have to settle for an upvote and my gratitude.
It’s just one of the little-known advantages to reading critical analysis of classical or Biblical literature! Although I’d be hard-pressed to name a second advantage.
The embarrassing thing, now that you mention it, is that I’m acquainted with this technique in that context (identifying source texts and common authors and so forth) but it still didn’t occur to me to apply it here, despite it being the same problem even at a surface level.
(sigh) Corrupted hardware sucks. It ain’t the things I don’t know that irritate me. It’s not even the things I do know that just ain’t so. It’s the things I know, that are so, and that somehow don’t present themselves to be reasoned with when I need them.
