layer_note

⚠ Vocalized Serto, though the section default for the chrestomathy is unvocalized Estrangela — the per-record layer rule earns its keep here.

noldeke_qualifier Nöldeke has no section for the calendar; no nearest § claimed rather than invent one.

bracket_convention

Square brackets are NESTLE'S OWN, marking letters optionally written (e.g. ܬܶܫܪܝ[ܢ]) — they are not an editor's supply for illegible ink. Cf. the Eutyches bracket ruling in the hand-trainer.

note

Second half of the same page carries DIES SEPTIMANAE (the seven weekday names) — filed separately as p132-2, category 'calendar: days of the week', for the same split-on-category reason as p023-2.
