Attributes
type⚓︎ classifies the reading according to some useful typology.
Status Optional
Datatype teidata.enumerated
Sample values include:
substantive
(substantive) the reading offers a substantive variant.
orthographic
(orthographic) the reading differs only orthographically, not in substance, from other readings.
cause⚓︎ classifies the cause for the variant reading, according to any appropriate typology of possible origins.
Status Optional
Datatype teidata.enumerated
Sample values include:
homeoteleuton
homeoarchy
paleographicConfusion
haplography
dittography
falseEmendation
varSeq⚓︎ (variant sequence) provides a number indicating the position of this reading in a sequence, when there is reason to presume a sequence to the variants.
Status Optional
Datatype teidata.count
Note

Different variant sequences could be coded with distinct number trails: 1-2-3 for one sequence, 5-6-7 for another. More complex variant sequences, with (for example) multiple branchings from single readings, may be expressed through the join element.
require⚓︎ points to other readings that are required when adopting the current reading or lemma.
Status Optional
Datatype 1–∞ occurrences of teidata.pointer separated by whitespace
Note

This element class defines attributes inherited by rdg, lem, and rdgGrp.
