This paper presents some linguistical and philological features of Gǝʿǝz (Old Ethiopic) which emerged while carrying out thorough morphological annotation of two texts of the Ethiopic literature, the Chronicle of ʿĀmda Ṣǝyon and the Gadla ʾAzqir, during my work in the project TraCES, with the digital help of the GeTa tool. It also describes the workflow and some of the aspects which characterized the experience of annotation.
