Portuguese term or phrase: rasurado
trata-se de uma palavra que está "rabiscada" em uma certidão de nascimento. Uma das letras da palavra está borrada e então há uma anotação dizendo: "Rasurado: "Tunja"". Fiquei em dúvida sobre se seria "erased", "scraped", ou outra coisa. Aguardo sugestões. Obrigada.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Na realidade, a palavra não está ilegível. Ela está apenas riscada, com uma marca de que alguém fez um pequeno traço sobre uma letra e, assim, rasurou a palavra.

Asker: Então, você teria outra sugestão, airmailrpl?

Asker: obrigada, airmailrpl

Asker: Na verdade, nenhuma letra foi tirada, Catarina. Só há um traço mais forte sobre uma letra, o que rasurou a palavra.
