del

  1. A) something was deleted because it was incorrect: for example erroneously written twice (dittography) or superfluous characters
  2. B) for other reasons like former names of former owners of the manuscript.
E.g.

                  <hi rend="rubric">ነዓ፡ ኀቤየ፡ ኦእግዚእየ፡ 
                     ኢየሱስ፡ ክርስቶስ፡ ወልደ፡ 
                     እግዚአ</hi><del rend="expunctuated" cause="dittography">እግዚአ</del>ብሔር፡ 
                  ሕያው። ወወልደ፡ <hi rend="rubric">ማርያም፡</hi> 
                  ሥግው። መ<del rend="effaced" cause="superfluous">ለ</del>ብረቀ፡ 
                  <hi rend="rubric">መለኮት፡</hi> መደንግፅ። ፍሕ
               

Example 1

The values of @rend can be multiple, so you can improve the example above by adding more than one value, like in the following example for Fig. example1.


                  <del rend="expunctuated effaced">እግዚአ</del>
               

Example 2

Fig. example1. letters expunctuated (surrounded by dots) for deletion

The value 'expunctuated' can be used also for cases like Fig. example2 lines above and below are used for the same purpose.

Fig. example2. letters with lines above and below

Fig. example3 is an example of encircled letters.

Fig. example3. encircled letters, sometimes due to optimizing the pen movement for lines above and below
