Description
Return omission and retained-word shares in a supplied passage.
Comparative-literature annotations connect editions, passages, speakers, structural frames and count units. Literal keys and normalized lengths can support consistent records while textual meaning, translation fidelity and bibliographic authority remain matters for source-aware editorial analysis.
Return omission and retained-word shares in a supplied passage.
When to use this tool
Use Translation Omission One Passage Share when checking a supplied literary annotation, cross-edition offset or count convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter sourceWords, omittedWords. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read retainedWords, omittedFraction. Use the output convention below.
Return omission and retained-word shares in a supplied passage. Require whole sourceWords >= 1 and omittedWords within it; retainedWords = source-omitted, omittedFraction = omitted/source.1

}Limitations and assumptions
- Omissions and word boundaries are supplied, not detected or judged for translation/editorial adequacy.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Inspect the source editions and their annotation/counting policy for substantive literary, translation or provenance conclusions.
