Erasure of Added Text in Correction

Signs added in an ancient correction that were subsequently deliberately erased in antiquity.

Syntax

The notation representing the deleted text followed by an equal sign and a greater-than sign forming a => arrow, then by any notation of a phenomenon (IbiUnit) allowed within Erasure, all enclosed between plus signs +…+. Optional metadata can be written before the final + delimiter.

  • 𝘏 = identifier sign of the hand (if specified in the optional annotations/metadata ¤ᵟ).
  • ERASURE_ALLOWED = any phenomena allowed within Erasure (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 Correction (cf. Ancient Corrections).

See Ancient Corrections for the automatic rectification performed by the formatter to improve legibility.
