.@RareBookLibAntw@mssprovenance violations of community policed citation standards are independent of genre or publication mode: isn't the crucial difference efficiency of gatekeeping??? perhaps it's less common in UK but the blogs of @NevilleMorley & @mssprovenance have no ISSN
#receptiogate insightful article on how Carla Rossi's work is, itself, much like a blog dressed in academic clothes which is a kind of defense all its own: https://t.co/xdbaEpoqQi
@Marphurius @ScribblingSandy .@Marphurius observation that courts may have to decide what's research & what's not reminded me of the de facto hierarchy in some fields (e.g., Middle Eastern studies) between mss catalogers & "real" professors -- the work of the mss catalogers is used, not necessarily cited
@Marphurius .@ScribblingSandy I did not mean to imply that Rossi is NOT violating all standards for the recognition of using other people's work as well as using other people's work - presenting their words (plagiarism) as her own as well as using their research -- cont.

@PaulaManstetten The root is hamza-ra-kha: grammatically it's a verbal noun of II 'arrakha: ta'rīkh (see the tafʿīl paradigm). But the hamza is phonetically a glottal stop, which in Arabic is a consonant but not in Persian or Turkish, so that in Arabic loanwords the long syllable ta' > long tā +
@PaulaManstetten in other words, metrically for rhyming titles it makes no difference whether it is a long ta' = cvc > long tā = clongv -- in terms of formal fusha, it has to be ta'rīkh

@PaulaManstetten since in writing the rasm does not have to include hamzas which sit on alif, "hook", or waw, it is impossible to argue on the basis of written texts whether how the first syllable in ta'rīkh was pronounced -- my 2 cents😉
