### Encoding


#### Project Description


CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts


#### Sampling Declaration


The electronic text represents pp. 190–193. Thurneysen's footnotes are retained.


#### Editorial Declaration


##### Correction


Text has been proof-read three times.


##### Normalization


The electronic text represents the edited text. Capitalization at 
sentence start has been introduced. Names are segmented in line 
with CELT practice. Thurneysen uses a dot to separate compound or 
simple verbs from their prefixes; this is replaced with hyphen(s) as 
the case requires; e.g. line 1: con.acatar becomes co n-acatar; line 
3: conda.bert becomes co-n-da-bert; line 2: con.diacht becomes 
con-diacht. In line 7 of the poem ní.téigtis has been 
separated: ní théigtis. Dos.athigtis on line 7, page 191 
is rendered do-sathigtis (as in ss+a), a long vowel may be intended. 
Notae augentes are hyphenated off. Text supplied by the editor is 
tagged sup resp="RT". Editorial notes are tagged 
note type="auth" n="" and numbered. Unclear words are marked by the editor; they appear within uncl tags.


##### Quotation


Direct speech is marked q.


##### Hyphenation


Soft hyphens are silently removed. When a hyphenated word (hard or soft) crosses a page-break, this break is marked after completion of the hyphenated word.


##### Segmentation


div0=the saga. div1=the section; page-breaks are marked pb n=""; poems are treated as embedded texts. 


##### Interpretation


Names are not tagged, nor are terms for cultural and social roles.


#### Canonical References


This text uses the DIV1 element to represent the section. ### Profile Description
