  Comments:
"Abbreviation" and "omission" may be two senses, despite the JE reference.

For example, the 天草版伊曽保物語 published by the Jesuits in 1593 begins with
a section titled "Esopo ga xogaino monogatari riacu" (Esopoが生涯の物語略).
When I came to that page I thought the story of Esopo's life would be "omitted" from the book.
But the following text turned out to be a biography of Esopo, and the "riacu" means 大略!
