- JadeNB 2y agoIs it clear to you what is done? As far as I can tell, we are instructed to "empty" the text, then to compile three lists, but the article I see ends with: > In the example Le Lionnais gives, the liste M is the list of all verbs appearing in the Tohoku paper. … and says nothing about what to do with those lists.
