Source alternative readings retain their own parentheses and a dashed outline. They are distinct from the primary reading even when text or word identifiers coincide; critical deletion and insertion marks remain significant.

Draft research notes are a separate retained annotation witness, not source text or accepted HSLT/HSRT. No draft gloss is displayed as translation.
