Asker: Thank you. This would work. Actually, in this text, there are many orthographic errors (not just funny ways of spelling - I am aware of these, and they are much more rare than in Middle French, and certainly not like Old French) due to the "scribe's" ignorance, especially with homonyms, and I wanted to make sure there was not some obscure meaning or word that I was not aware of. Basically I read most of it without paying too much attention to the spelling since there is so much variation.
Thanks again for help!
