Notes
The italicised items will be headings to the sections concerned. These are placed on a new line, italicised and followed by a colon. ‡ The colon is not italicised.
The verse number, text and categorisation in Skj do not need to be headed as such.
For some textually simple verses, there may be no significant Variant readings, and Notes may be unnecessary. For some verses the Context may also be superfluous. In such cases the headings to those sections are simply omitted. Always include a Prose word order and translation, even where Skj does not, as the edition is intended for a wide range of users (e.g. historians, archaeologists).
A different presentation will be adopted for runic texts, incorporating a transcription and information about location, dating, type of object, etc.
