docs: what citefind will not take for a work
Three refusals named on the page: a note's own remark, a siglum, and the navigation strip a PDF reader leaves behind. Says where the line is drawn — at the guess rather than at the title, so an entry that marked its own title is taken at its word.

**Take a translator's note for a reference.** An em dash and a role at the

end — `— Ed.`, `— Tr.` — is how a translator signs a note of their own.

**Take a note's own remark for a work.** `The Commentator seems to have

**Take a siglum for a work.** `H, 272`, `FR,120-122`, `GNO`. The key that

**Take the reader's furniture for a reference.** `572 next page > < previous

**Take chapter and verse for a work.** `Matthew 4:17` and `Cf. Deuteronomy
