Skt.lexicography

[Thomas Malten]

I am not a specialist in Sanskrit lexicography, but a worthwhile part of
the discussion may be a return to Nye's proposal to encode
Monier-Williams as mentioned in Wujastyk's report on the Sanskrit Text
Archive Conference, 1988.

Some time back we converted a random specimen page (p. 288) with a simple,
but programmable, tagging system (to be slightly expanded), which takes
care of all the basic lexicographical information contained in MW.
On that basis the ascii content of MW can be calculated at 17MB (i.e.
ca. 55K per member of the indology list -:)

I am appending a list of the tags used as well as p. 288 to this note.

TAGS

GENERAL:

ppp.nnnn/n = page and column number in MW
...        = (at the beginning of a page) entry continued from last page

|          =         root sign (ascii 251)
+          = elevated circle (=rest of the word to be supplied)

(Indentation is represented by a empty line)

All Sanskrit words are enclosed with brackets {}

SWITCHING OF TYPE:

** = Devanagari large type
*  = Devanagari small type
(Remark: words printed in Devanagari words in MW are ignored
as all entries are in Roman transliteration)
%  = italics type
#  = bold type
$  = normal type



DIAKRITICAL MARKS (x = any letter)

x1  = dash above
x2  = dot below
x3  = dot above
x4  = acute above
x5  = tilde above
x6  = dash below
x7  = /\ above (/\ = circumflex)
x8  = /\\ above
x9  = //\ above
x0  = //\\ above
x/\x = /\ above two letters
