Broader questionThere are likely many other cases in SKD where we can make a quite convincing argument that Any ideas of how to find many of those cases? |
I vote for keeping them as they are. Correcting b/v inconsistencies will lead to various other problems like alphabetic misorderings of headwords |
I vote for adding alternative headwords for finding purposes.
In our remake I would not worry much about that, but more about how to find words with possible variations in orthography.
The o_O old way comparison, no? |
Note that all of the 'dbijAy' cases above are within text, not within the 'meta' line. So changing If Bengali scholars use b/v interchangeably, then they would be happy with or without the change. Since we aren't in agreement on this change at this time, I'll forego making the change. |
Right.
We are in agreement - ghostwords, alternative headwords is the key as before. |
Uh oh!
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.
Noticed an instance of 'dbijAya' (under headword 'yama').
Searching skd.txt led to 8 cases of 'dbijAy':
And 22 cases of 'dvijAy':
Question 1
Should we change the 8 'dbijAy' to 'dvijAy'. I vote for yes. Recall that the 'b/v' distinction is
very difficult in SKD scans, due to print quality. Also 'dvijAya' is meaningful ('dvi-jAya' - related to
'dvija' (twice born).)
