Texas Register V.30 No.27 Volume 30 Number 27 July 8, 2005 Pages 3939-4078 School children's artwork is used to decorate the front cover and blank filler pages of the Texas Register. Teachers throughout the state submit the drawings for students in grades K-12. The drawings dress up the otherwise gray pages of the Texas Register and introduce students to this obscure but important facet of state government. The artwork featured on the front cover is chosen at random. Inside each issue, the artwork is published on what would otherwise be blank pages in the Texas Register. These blank pages are caused by the production process used to print the Texas Register. Texas Register, (ISSN 0362-4781), is published weekly, 52 times a year.

  • The Glagolitic Spidery Kh
    The Glagolitic ‘spidery kh’ <Ⱒ>, its origin and relatives Sebastian Kempgen (Bamberg) 1. Introduction One of the most puzzling letters in the Glagolitic alphabet is the so-called “se- cond x” or “spidery kh” (JAGIĆ 1883, 204; “paukoobraznyj xer”). It represented either [ç] or [x] and had no prototype in the Greek alphabet1, it may or may not have filled slot 24, 34 (or 33) in the original Glagolitic alphabet according to different researchers, it rarely occurs in the preserved OCS texts (7 times, to be precise) or Abecedaria (2–3 times) at all, it occurs in one word only, and it was dropped from the inventory, when the Cyrillic alphabet was developed in the th late 9 century, so it does not have a Cyrillic counterpart. In Slavic paleography, 2 the character has been discussed separately several times , and MARTI calls it one of the “problematic graphemes” in the reconstruction of the original Glagolica.3 In Unicode, it has been given its own slot for an uppercase and a lowercase version (U+2C22, U+2C52). In the present paper we will tackle the hitherto unsolved provenience of this character from a different angle – not from a paleoslavistic, but from a semiotic and structural point of view. We will try to shed some light on the origin of this mysterious letter and its cognates, and present pictorial and other evidence to support our hypothesis. First, however, we will try to summarize some facts, not aiming at the already ‘initiated’ (i.e. paleoslavists), but for ‘normal slavists’. 2. Occurrence in texts As is well known, the ‘spidery kh’ is an extremely rare character.

  • Linguistic Studies for Establishing a Critical Text
    saqarTvelos mecnierebaTa erovnuli akademiis moambe, t. 13, #3, 2019 BULLETIN OF THE GEORGIAN NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, vol. 13, no. 3, 2019 Philology Linguistic Studies for Establishing a Critical Text Ketevan Gigashvili*, Giorgi Kalandadze*, Tea Tvalavadze*, Esma Mania* *Iakob Gogebashvili Telavi State University, Tbilisi, Georgia (Presented by Academy Member Zaza Aleksidze) ABSTRACT. One of the basic tasks of the scholarly edition is the establishment of a critical text. This paper analyzes the results of linguistic studies conducted in connection with preparing for publication the texts of various genres by three well-known authors belonging to different epochs: Gabriel Mtsire, Grigol Orbeliani and Ilia Chavchavadze. The difficulties associated with the reading of foreign words and place names written by mistake can be observed on the example of Orbeliani’s personal letters. Several examples are considered in detail and the instances of problematic toponyms and foreign words are shown. The example of Ilia Chavchavadze’s pocketbooks illustrates the difficulties related to the handwriting, incompleteness of words, leaving uncorrected mechanical errors (specificity of notebooks) and frequent use of the names and surnames unknown to us. It is shown how these difficulties can be overcome. A comparative study of two autographs of Gabriel Mtsire is given to illustrate what kind of analysis underlies the choice of the main text and how important the knowledge of the linguistic peculiarities of the epoch is for its establishment. As a result of the linguistic studies, the most difficult passages of autographs were read correctly, critical texts were established and a scientific apparatus was prepared. These results are fully reflected in the scholarly edition of the three authors under consideration.
