Addition of Ligated Signs

An addition by a later ancient hand of ligated signs.

Syntax

Any notation of a phenomenon (IbiUnit) allowed within Ligature wrapped by equal signs =…= representing the addition, enclosed between plus signs +…+. Optional metadata can be written before the final + delimiter.

Overview

• 𝘏 = identifier sign of the hand (if specified in the optional annotations/metadata ¤ᵟ).
• ⊙ ∈ LIGATURE_ALLOWED = any phenomena allowed within a Ligature (notation, AST or rendering depending on its placement).
• ‽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).
