When a semantic line is too long for the compositorial line, the compositor will insert
the final word(s) on the line above or below, usually inserting an opening parenthesis
before the word(s).
Collectively, these words are known as hungwords. Words that are set above the semantic line to which they belong are known as turnovers:
Words that are set below the semantic line to which they belong are known as turnunders:
When you are transcribing your semi-diplomatic text, type the hungword in the semantic
line to which it belongs. Tag turnovers with the
<seg>
element thus:
<body> <!-- ... -->
<sp who="spkr:other"> <speaker rendition="rnd:italic">K.</speaker> <ab>May we with right & conscience make this<seg type="turnover">(claime?</seg> </ab> </sp> <!-- ... --> </body>
Tag turnunders with the
<seg>
element thus:
<body> <!-- ... -->
<sp who="spkr:other"> <speaker rendition="rnd:italic">Lord.</speaker> <ab>
There is a saying very old and true,
<lb/>If you will <hi rendition="rnd:italic">France</hi> win,
<lb/>Then with <hi rendition="rnd:italic">Scotland</hi> first begin:
<lb/>For once the Eagle, England being in pray,
<lb/>To his vnfurnish nest the weazel Scot
<lb/>Would suck her egs, playing the mouse in absence of the<seg type="turnunder">(cat:</seg> <lb/>To spoyle and hauock more than she can eat.
</ab> </sp> <!-- ... --> </body>
When we render these lines, we will push the hungwords above or below the line as
needed.
If you come across this scenario, encode the hungword as usual. Encode the white space
as vertical white space. See Practice: Encode Vertical White Space.
For example:
<sp xml:id="emd1HW_Q1_sp329"> <speaker>Bell.</speaker> <ab>
So Poke my ru<g ref="lig:ff">ff</g>e now, my gowne, my gown, haue
<seg type="turnunder">(I my fall<hi rendition="rnd:italic">?</hi> </seg> <space dim="vertical" unit="line" quantity="1"/> <lb type="wln" n="794"/>Wher’s my fall <hi rendition="rnd:italic">Roger</hi>?
</ab> </sp>
