Monier inflectional information starting with `°` is lost and throws error #53

f. mother Pāṇ. 7-3, 107 Comm. (voc. °डे and °ले) and Kāś. (in Veda voc. optionally °ड and °ल).

or

f. mother Pāṇ. 7-3, 107 Comm. (voc. °ḍe and °le) and Kāś. (in Veda voc. optionally °ḍa and °la).

for forms prefixed by ° conversion into Devanagari is good, but display in ISO is probbaly cleaner looking and closer to the original in Monier.

the error message reads:

(in pwg) Cannot transliterate '°qe' from Latn to Deva using slp1

<T13n::Error: No sequence can start with codepoint 0xb0 (°) in SLP1>

ambada

Note that the last slp1 la is actually transformed while qe, le, and qa aren't. Also veda should be in ISO and not Devanagari.

An example of this problem is in atikrama in PWG.

This is caused by the fact that the degree sign ° is used inside words marked as SLP1 and SLP1 does not define any transliteration for that character. I think it should be placed ourside the <tei:w> elements, as it is done in Monier.

Accepting ° as a SLP1 character is doable, but it has the drawback that the automatic search links will include it as well.
