type

(type) allows the encoder to classify the abbreviation according to some convenient typology.

Derived from	att.typed
Status	Optional
Datatype	teidata.enumerated
Legal values are:	another (Abbreviation for another ) anoyr Brother (Abbreviation for Brother ) Broyr which (Abbreviation for which ) qch whom (Abbreviation for whom ) qm when (Abbreviation for when ) qn who (Abbreviation for who ) qo what (Abbreviation for what ) qt with (Abbreviation for with ) wt the (Abbreviation for the ) ye then (Abbreviation for then ) yn your (Abbreviation for your ) yr that (Abbreviation for that ) yt them (Abbreviation for them ) ym there (Abbreviation for there ) yre this (Abbreviation for this ) ys fm (Abbreviation for from) fm qre (Abbreviation for where) qre
Note	The type attribute is provided for the sake of those who wish to classify abbreviations at their point of occurrence; this may be useful in some circumstances, though usually the same abbreviation will have the same type in all occurrences. As the sample values make clear, abbreviations may be classified by the method used to construct them, the method of writing them, or the referent of the term abbreviated; the typology used is up to the encoder and should be carefully planned to meet the needs of the expected use. For a typology of Middle English abbreviations, see 6.2.

Note

If abbreviations are expanded silently, this practice should be documented in the editorialDecl, either with a normalization element or a p.
