About This Clues Answer

We think the answer is "OBELI" which means:

noun

• A symbol resembling a horizontal line (–), sometimes together with one or two dots (for example, ⨪ or ÷), which was used in ancient manuscripts and texts to mark a word or passage as doubtful or spurious, or redundant; an obelisk.
• A dagger symbol (†), which is used in printed matter as a reference mark to refer the reader to a footnote, marginal note, etc.; beside a person's name to indicate that the person is deceased; or beside a date to indicate that it is a person's death date; an obelisk.

An example sentence would be:

• "The obeli on the map indicate places of interest."
• "The obeli in the text mark passages that are considered doubtful."
