#ok to be fair the fanti + vertical + right to left comes with the territory of premodern studies. and also reading anything that's not dalu

[hunxi-after-hours]

tfw you don't look at the publication information closely enough while requesting research materials from the library so the book you get is so old that it's:

dalu-published fanti

on top of being dalu-published fanti, also vertical

on top of being vertical, also right to left

still uses underline/squiggles to denote proper nouns

some of the pages have smudged, and as a result those pages are nigh illegible
