A review of hearing transcripts, correction leaves and the public reading rota finds a gap between the total in the public summary and the conditions recorded at the public transcript room at Alder Root Archive. The difference does not prove that anyone misstated the file. It shows what the public count leaves out: a spoken place name has three accepted spellings across old records.
The hearing transcripts, correction leaves and the public reading rota lists 78 corrections posted before a transcript is copied again; the previous window lists 75. Sylva Reed checked both against field transects paired with the season and location of each reading. The source was checked against a second copy held by Vela Thorne. No dated correction to either copy was present when the comparison closed.
Readers ask for a clean current form. Local speakers want the older form retained as a searchable variant. The office has not supplied a separate measure that would settle the disagreement, so the two explanations remain competing accounts.
This report supports a narrower finding: the count is repeatable, but it is not enough to decide how a transcript can be corrected without erasing the earlier spelling from the record.
The clerk closes this file and gives the next season a fresh scope. The board closed this docket after it closed the file after a second measure confirmed the existing threshold. The next window starts with a fresh record.
