Addition Containing Gap of Ranged Extent

A gap added by a later ancient hand whose extent is expressed as a plausible numeric range contained inside an addition to the support by a later ancient hand.

Syntax

The notation for a gap of ranged extent wrapped within plus signs +…+. Optional metadata can be written before the final + delimiter. Optional metadata can be written before the final + delimiter.

Overview

• ⊙ ∈ PREVIOUS_SEEN_ALLOWED = the relevant gap notation.
• ‽ᵟ ∈ {?, !, ε} = uncertainty marker ?, certainty marker !, or empty string (ε).
• γ ∈ {Low, High, Medium} = certainty level corresponding to the marker used in the notation.
• ◇ᵟ ∈ {⯑, ⯁, ε} = rendering of the uncertainty/certainty marker in the notation or empty string (ε).
• ¤ᵟ = optional annotations (metadata) supported by Addition (cf. Later Ancient Additions of Signs).
