Slur in GC, literal reading

Slur in GC (interpretation), FE, GE2 (→GE3) & EE1 (→EE2)

Slur in GE1 & EE3

The slur of GC, reaching above the rest, is certainly inaccurate. The version of GE1 is most probably an attempt to confer it meaning while preserving its length. The change performed in EE3 proves (excessive) trust of the reviser of this edition to the text of GE1.
