Erasure of Unclear Signs

Signs or spaces deliberately erased in antiquity whose reading is unclear.

Syntax

Any notation of a phenomenon (IbiUnit) allowed within Unclear wrapped by asterisks *…* and enclosed between double square brackets [[…]].

Overview

• ⊙ ∈ UNCLEAR_ALLOWED = any phenomena allowed within Unclear (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).

See Signs Erased in Antiquity and Rasurae for the automatic rectification performed by the formatter to improve legibility.
