Not familiar with stylebook verse? The numbers translate thus: alphabetizing personal names in letter-by-letter style—thousands of names. A biblical task guided by secular text.
As I scroll Arabic al-s, Asian romanizations, Spanish and Latin American unhyphenated couplings, Mc-somethings and O'whats it's, names become fates. What if I incorrectly apply Chicago treatment to the child of an influential indexing expert?
Thankfully, the maxims of proofreading and copyediting ne'er are wrote.
A fascinating project. Congratulations graduates.
