putting it into the table, calculating the percentage of each error, and making the
conclusion about the result.The percentage for each type of error is 53.9% for omission,
0.5% for addition in the form of regularization, 1.4% for addition in the form of doublemarkings,
11.1% for addition in the form of simple addition, no misformation in the
form of regularization, 18.4% for misformation in the form of archi-forms, 10.6% for
misformation in the form of alternating-forms, 4.1% for misordering, and no
