Copy the exact + spellings from any shipped `*.tsv` (the safest start is to take `vul.tsv` and + replace only the text column). + * **Chapter and Verse (cols 4, 5)** must follow **Vulgate numbering** — the + versification the lectionary is keyed to. A Bible numbered differently + (modern Psalm numbers, split or renamed books) will silently misalign, so a + translation not already Vulgate-numbered has to be re-numbered first. + * **Abbrev (col 2) and BookNum (col 3)** are ignored by clectio, but the + columns must still be present so every line has six fields (a line with fewer + is skipped). + * **Text (col 6)** is the verse; runs of whitespace are collapsed to one space. + +A verse the corpus does not contain prints blank — it never fails the day; the +build just warns how many verses were missing. The default Vulgate build needs +only a C compiler; a `CORPUS=` rebuild also needs `gzip` (which `mktext` uses to +pack the text). + +### Switching back to the Vulgate + +The shipped `text_of.lz` / `text_ef.lz` hold the packed Vulgate text and are +git-tracked; a `CORPUS=` build overwrites the one for the form you built.
