      Ideally, hooked-e would not be represented as <e>, but since some of the early editions printed <ę> and <e>, we were forced to follow them (fortunately, the total number of hooked-e characters was small). Editorial practice with regard to <ę> (variously, hooked-e, e-caudata or cedillated-e) is extremely inconsistent (Cain).
