Not-Given Plausibility among Lectiones

Pair of lectiones for which the editor is either unable or unwilling to offer a judgment regarding the plausibility emerging from their comparison.

Overview

%⊙|…%PlausibilityAssessment(PlausibilitySeq{lectiones: [⊙, …], links: [PlausibilityLink(kind: Alterative, degree: None), …]})⦃ ⊙ ∥ … ⦄
  • ⊙ ∈ PLAUSIBILITY_ALLOWED = any phenomena allowed within PlausibilityAssessment (notation, AST or rendering depending on its placement).

Syntax

  • In the body of the text: any notation valid for expressing IbiScript phenomena separated by the not-given plausibility operator |, all enclosed within percent signs %…%.
  • In the phenomenon annotations/metadata: any Unicode character sequence representing plain text (philological sigla and conventions, linguistic remarks, etc.) separated by the not-given plausibility operator |, all enclosed within percent signs %…%.

See Interpretative Plausibility Assessment for the automatic rectification performed by the formatter to improve legibility.

Line 1 of the example tables shows the plausibility hierarchy applied to _lectiones_ in the main text (e.g. epigraphic phenomena); line 2 shows the use case in annotations, i.e. among the optional metadata supported by certain phenomena.
