An analytical?! That's the old 1852 work by Wigram. I doubt that it will serve to support an argument that this was common practice as late as 1967! But yes, it does use a most curious set of markings on words beginning with ARR-, some of which have *3* breathing marks and an accent. I'd never noticed it in the analytical (but then I seldom use it), and I've never seen it anywhere else. The pre-1968 L&S (9th ed.) did not do this, nor did the even earlier 8th ed. (1897). Does anyone have any historical info that would explain this odd orthography?
