Convention 2.1 errors

[drdhaval2785]

@funderburkjim I am trying to give some convention errors to make the dictionaries internally consistent. See https://github.com/sanskrit-lexicon/hwnorm1#option-21 for what 2.1 stands for.

Please let me know whether it is proper to submit such corrections or still we are not mature enough to decide on these issues.

I will also try to give justification alongwith each incident.

SKD usually doesn't do duplication in 'rkk'. Indian dictionaries usually don't. This is what I found from the observation of statistics.

rkk pattern in SKD dictionary is 5 / 12712
rkk pattern in VCP dictionary is 0 / 12712
rkk pattern in SHS dictionary is 13 / 12712
rkk pattern in WIL dictionary is 17 / 12712
rkk pattern in YAT dictionary is 15 / 12712
rkk pattern in PD dictionary is 2 / 12712

Only 5 incidents of such duplication found in SKD

trapukarkkawI:SKD
mAkzIkaSarkkarA:SKD
rAjakarkkawI:SKD
vfttakarkkawI:SKD
veRukarkkaraH:SKD

As three are compounds for 'karkkawI' - I decided to check SKD's convention of writing that entry itself.

As it is written 'karkawI', the compounds should also have -karkawI.

for 'karkkaraH' - SKD itself gives 'karkaraH' See

For 'SarkkarA' - SKD itself gives 'SarkarA' See

Therefore

1 trapukarkkawI->trapukarkawI 2 mAkzIkaSarkkarA->mAkzIkaSarkarA 3 rAjakarkkawI->rAjakarkawI 4 vfttakarkkawI->vfttakarkawI 5 veRukarkkaraH->veRukarkaraH

This ends 'Convention error' submission for SKD for 'rkk' pattern.

Honoris causa is what you deserve in Moscow State University. Too bad the Sanskrit branch is rather weak lately. "not mature enough to decide on these issues" seems too pesimistic. Your "Therefore" conclusion makes sense.

[funderburkjim]

The idea of making corrections to a given dictionary so that it is internally consistent seems fine to me.

I think we should still mark such changes either as 'typos' or 'print errors',

I checked the scans for the 5 words above, and classifed all as 'print error'.

In some cases, there are textual usages of the 'rkk' form, in addition to the 'rkk' form in the headword. I decided to leave these textual 'rkk' instances unchanged.

Corrections installed.

[drdhaval2785]

@gasyon - Let us stick to the headwords please. Because we have no applied any of the techniques learnt earlier to descriptions. See https://github.com/sanskrit-lexicon/CORRECTIONS/issues/181 POINT 1 itself. So, better to treat them in a whole bunch there.

@drdhaval2785 so be it.
