Examples If all that is desired is to call attention to the original version in the copy text, orig may be used alone:

<l>But this will be a <orig>meere</orig> confusion</l>
<l>And hardly shall we all be <orig>vnderstoode</orig>
</l>
More usually, an orig will be combined with a regularized form within a choice element:

<l>But this will be a <choice>
      <orig>meere</orig>
      <reg>mere</reg>
   </choice> confusion</l>
<l>And hardly shall we all be <choice>
      <orig>vnderstoode</orig>
      <reg>understood</reg>
   </choice>
</l>
