Subject:Help with transcription Shibai to Kinema No. 1 -
Posted By: Irwin Tue, Sep 29, 2026 IP: 174.127.209.134

The attached snippet of part of a description of the play Botan Dōrō appears in the magazine Shibai to Kinema. If you could confirm my transcription of this snippet and add the missing character in my transcription I'd be grateful.
匕首はギラリトさ女の肩先?掠める、

匕首はギラリ(ト)と女の肩先を掠める、
Grammatically correct form,
匕首はギラリと女の肩先を掠める、
Hishu wa girari to onna no katasaki wo kasumeru

The “ト” I put in parentheses is a typesetting error, followed by the correct hiragana form (と). This hiragana form of “to” was a standard form used at that time.
The other hiragana character is “を” which has an extra little loop at the lower right cross stroke.

Regards,
I.Nagy
