I have only glanced at a few RC pages, so I may easily be wildly wrong, but in the Western scribal tradition there is the custom to "expunge" (_expungere_ from _punctum_, "point, dot") a word mistakenly inserted in a text by marking it with dots.


I'm not saying this is the case, but simply that scribal customs are always lurking in the dark...
