one character on a Juyo paper

[Wim V]

Hi all,

 

I am translating a Juyo paper for a friend. I feel rather confident I have figured out nearly everything, but I am having difficulty reading one character. Please see the scan below. This is what I have, where I included a question mark for the character I can't read:

 

刃文 互の目乱れ,尖り刃交じり,逆が?り,小沸つく｡ 帽子 直ぐに尖りごころ｡

"hamon gunome midare, togariba majiri, saka ga ?ri, ko nie tsuku. boshi sugu ni togari gokoro."

 

Lots of thanks in advance for any help,

 

Wim

The character is a sign which means a repetition of the previous hiragana.

逆がゝり = 逆がかり

Thank you very much Moriyama-san.

 

I was already aware of the use of an iteration mark in kanji (like for example in Shinshinto) but I had never seen this in hiragana or katakana. So thanks to you I learned something interesting today
