Minor issues

Even though it's called that in the source, I think 21 surviving manuscripts are not "a few". At least it confused me. Would this passage be better off without "a few" or am inflexible there? Also, I think "bestow" sounds like the naming was part of a grand design, even though the name is quite straightforward, almost not a name. Perhaps "given" is better?

  • Hekerui, I think that's the genesis of the writing: one of the sources, if I remember correctly, talked about "a few" and then I found the higher number, but never tweaked it. "Bestow"--I was just at a loss for words, I imagine. Please go in and tweak! Thanks, Drmies (talk) 17:48, 13 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
