Dear list members,

thank you for your help last week with the Samaveda.

I have a question from a totally different field today. We have Tamil recordings collected by Hilko Wiardo Schomerus dating from 1929 from  Can anybody give me a transcription with diacritical marks of the following (classical) Tamil texts? I did not find them on GRETIL but on
www.shaivam.org. Or is there information on how to transfer them into a modern standard transcription with diacritical marks? I have only handwritten documentation that do not seem to be of contemporary standard.

Best wishes,

Ulla Remmer
