I'm not convinced that it is an error -- at least it seems to be an
intentional
one as it occurs fairly frequently in the collection I'm looking at. Your
proposition isn't really satisfactory because the extender doesn't,

Still, taking your advice, and that of James, I've fallen back on

   ten -- dres -- _ se,

Thanks for your help and time
