Ligature of Signs Seen by Earlier Editors

A ligature whose signs were seen by earlier editors but no longer visible on the support.

Syntax

Any notation of a phenomenon (IbiUnit) allowed within PreviousSeen wrapped by between low lines _…_ and enclosed between equal signs =…=.

Overview

• ⊙ ∈ PREVIOUS_SEEN_ALLOWED = any phenomena allowed within PreviousSeen (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).
