Meaning of "Ln.", etc., in Textual Apparatus

Nicoll's Expositor's Greek Testament uses the terms "Ln.", "Lft." and "Ws."
in its textual apparatus (for example, for BAPTISMWi in Col. 1:12, it says
"So Ln. mg., Tr., Lft., Ws. ...", etc.), but I do not understand these three
references.  Can anyone please help?  Thanks in advance.
