hwnorm1 Option 1.3 wrong (PWG,PWK) #165

Closed gasyoun closed 8 years ago

gasyoun commented 8 years ago

I started reading https://github.com/sanskrit-lexicon/hwnorm1 - it's a gift Dhaval has done such a research, hope @funderburkjim agrees. I will try to make best use of it. But I have an objection to Option 1.3, that deals with "Use M at the end of a word to denote neuter gender. e.g. aMSukaM" and states "Dictionaries - SKD,AP90,BHS,WIL,PW,PWG,VCP". "SKD,AP90,BHS,WIL,VCP" - "Indian" dictionaries truly use it, but PW,PWG does not. At least not for that purpose and only a few cases (in comparison SKD has 7.5k cases). It's @drdhaval2785 mistake, but such that lead to correction of several mistakes at https://github.com/sanskrit-lexicon/CORRECTIONS/issues/164

18 cases from PWG (markup manually added):

17 cases from PWK (markup manually added):

So for PWG, PWK instead of the definition "Use M at the end of a word to denote neuter gender" we could say "Use M at the end of a word mainly to denote Adjectiv".

"Note - Some dictionaries seem to follow two conventions in options 3.1 and 3.2. It will need a closer look." - is there a way to see some stats to decide? Not sure what is the difference between Option 3.1 and Option 3.3, please add 2-3 examples. As per "Uses inflected form with 'A' at end (e.g. kartA)" - waiting for some hint.

Not PW and PWG shifted from option 1.3 to 1.4

Readme updated.

Thanks for testing the hypothesis.

Can't see the shift to Option 1.4 in readme. For "Use M at the end of a word (not to denote neuter gender, but to denote avyayas mostly) where 'm' is supposed to be. e.g. anukAmaM, anudiSaM etc." I still see only Dictionaries - YAT.
