Definition
the omission in writing or copying of one of two or more adjacent and similar letters, syllables, words, or lines.
Examples
- 1._Quique quod_ is obviously prone to haplography; on the other hand, it could be a rewriting of _qui quod id es_, which is itself presumably a simple corruption through interchange of _qui quod es id_.
