ALL CAPS in Wake Annotations?

Exactly. I couldn't find anything in the introduction that specifically
addressed the question, but after perusing the first hundred pages or so, it
became clear (actually, I think I figured this out when I first read the
Wake some years ago using the Annotations) that ALL CAPS is a device to call
attention to things that are in proximity and belong together in some way,
as, for example, Art's examples. Also, I found DOVE and RAVEN, a pair of
opposites. And MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN, with a couple of the words on other
lines.

Also, if you find a capped word by itself, that's a clue to look for others.
I found SILENCE a good page and a half before CUNNING. Couldn't find EXILE,
but I only spent a few seconds looking, having figured out what I wanted to
know.
