Oh. my.  dabbrev-expand is very good at propagating typos all over the

BTW, for epigraphs that are in lines @Break mode you can just use
||1rt to flush it to the right and let the epigraph occupy its
"natural" width.

Ah, sure, the row mark of the epigraph protrudes through its first
line and default @ParaGap uses 'x' mode.  So if you gonna write a
definition for an epigraph, just use 1w @VShift to push the row mark
to the bottom edge.  When writing the epigraph by hands, using extra
// is just easier.
