2. > ひらき戸になっているガラスのとびらをひらきました。

   This sentence reads really awkward for me so I must be doing it wrong.

   Context: Someone stole a statue and it’s in a glass box and they are going to check out the statue.

   Full context: https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/001779/files/57228_58735.html

   I think it says something like,

   > とびらをひらきました。

   This would be them opening the door

   > ひらき戸になっているガラスのとびら

   A glass door which becomes a hinge?

   So this this basically, they are opening a glass door which becomes a hinged door?

3. What are the differences between something like 女 and 女の人? Both mean woman as far as I understand.

4. > それだけにあの街に到着してしまえば自分達の旅にも大きな区切りを迎えそうで、それが望まれるもの**かそうでないのか**例えようの無い不安をサトシは感じるのだった。

   Any idea as to what the part in bold means? My current guess is ‘whether or not’ (but if that’s what it means I wonder why the writer didn’t just use かどうか).

5. If I want to say “daily walk” it’s better to use 毎日の散歩 or 日常の散歩？

6. I was researching a word and ran into the kokuji 〆, after light digging I ran into the set of them (〆、𪜈、ゟ etc) yomichan and jisho can only really recognize some of them. are they an archaism that does not appear in modern literature anymore or modern names? My only real understanding of this topic is they are Japanese-originated which can be used for a 2 syllable word. Or are these similar to cursive 崩し書き? sorry for the odd question and slight rambling
