Below is a guide to some of the assessors' short forms you will encounter in the assessment rolls. The items in the first column, "Short Form", are the short forms as they appear in this online version of the assessment rolls, the items in the second column, "Meaning", are the probable meanings of the short forms, and the items in the last column, "May Have Appeared As" show possible configurations of the short forms with certain parts superscripted that might have appeared in the original document (As was described in the Transcription Notes section, any superscript formatting appearing in the original document was not transmitted to this online version due to time restrictions).
