We are using the UBS selection as our foundation, so we have to have
a very good reason to omit variants in there.
But we can ADD things which have been omitted by UBS.
In the same way we have a selection of standard translations, and
have to include all the translation concepts contained in them, but
we can add others from outside that selection.
I wonder if TNK is influenced by the abbreviations in Rabbinic
literature where words and whole phrases can be missing because they
are obvious in the context. I can see that this, and rearrangement,
are valid ways of translating poetry.
