Erasure of Deleted Text in Correction

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

Syntax

Any notation of a phenomenon (IbiUnit) allowed within Erasure, thus enclosed within double square brackets [[…]], followed by an equal sign and a greater-than sign forming a => arrow, then by the added text notation, 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.
