> Ignore them:
i can do that.
plus, my meager knowledge of Latin makes that particularly easy to do.
>the accents are late additions;
i *very* occasionally came across an accent or two in 11th-12th c. charter
manuscripts but, yes, i certainly have always assumed that these guys were
"late."
>scholars started adding accents like these in the sixteenth century.
Ignoring is easily enough done --i been ignoring stuff for decades, with
little to show for it.
but, *why* are they there?
for pronunciation?
a different question.
thanks, Bonnie.
