My content is organized by numbered verses.

I want my footnotes to be numbered for the first footnote in the verse 
plus the letter "a". And the superscript would just be a lowercase letter.
Then subsequent footnotes within the same verse would be the next 
alphabetical letter.

I guess I could modify \subsection to not add a newline but just let the 
content follow it.

This would be like footnotes/sidenotes as often seen in a Holy Bible.
Here is an example (using random text generator):

1. Viverra, enim porttitor eros, sagittis leo^a, pretium cursus. In 
commodo nec, scelerisque a, diam. Etiam sit amet^b, purus. Quisque eu 
convallis tellus. Maecenas semper auctor. Aenean bibendum.

2. Nulla ligula felis, malesuada aliquet^a. In et ultrices posuere 
vehicula convallis viverra, cubilia Curae; Integer^b leo ac quam enim, 
euismod nulla dolor placerat^c id, tortor.

------- (footnotes here)-------

1a  Also see verse 96
 b  Mispelled in original.
2a  More details in book ...
 b  Original language had this as ...
 c  Also see verse 48

(That was just a random example.)

So to restate what I want: footnotes use numbers and letters starting with 
"a" on first footnote per verse. Second and later footnotes per verse are 
not numbered but use next letter alphabetically.

Any ideas or example code to do this?

If that is too hard, then I'd like to just use letters "a" ... "z" for my 
footnotes. (Hopefully, I don't have more than 26.)

I read that \footnote[num]{Text here.} only takes a number for [num].
