Error Words
This one is a judgement call.
A word that got cut off, or scanner output that fell apart.
Some are truncations we can name, like amenorrho for amenorrhoea and analyt for analytic. Others are just noise.
If we can name the word that was meant it goes under Typo instead. If we cannot rebuild it at all it lands here.
