sigla
This term is used almost exclusively within the specialized fields of paleography, textual criticism, and musicology. It refers to the shorthand codes used to label specific manuscripts or witnesses in a critical apparatus, allowing scholars to track variations across different historical copies of a text without repeating long titles.
Grammatically, this word is a plural noun borrowed directly from Latin. It does not follow standard English pluralization rules and should not be used with an s suffix. Because it is a plural-only term in this context, it requires a plural verb and cannot be used as a singular count noun; one would refer to a single instance as a siglum.
