The head over ? character in the displayed formula indicates a syntax
error (unfortunately not necessarily at th eposition where it is displayed).
The problem is you are trying to do something that is not allowed at all
By writing
left [ stack {+syllabic} # {+front} right ]~"___"~"]"rsub word #
You want a single expression the
left [ stack {+syllabic} # {+front} right ]
part to include a line boundary #. That will never work!
An expression must always be completed in its stack/matrix/binom cell.
Thus either you have to remove the # in the mid or you need to supply
the terminating right ] in the first cell and the starting left [ in the
other cell. Be reminded that you can add right none to the first and
left none to the second. Maybe that is what you wanted it to look like.
