Cases 51-55:

• 54 mw:tvaca,89071:tvaca:t: (CF) f. -> n.
• 55 mw:tvaca,89072:tvaca:t: (cf, implied) f. -> n.
  There are two 'cf' words, tanu-tvaca and pfTak-tvacA. So choice of 'tvaca' for 89072 is arbitrary

[funderburkjim]

Cases 66-70:

• 66 mw:nivAnya,110264:nivAnyA:p: The final letter has accent, rather than macron. Confer ap90
• 67 mw:netrOzaDa,112169:netrOzaDa:t: complex
  There is a missing fragment here There need to be two entries:
  • 112169 (H3) netrOzaDa n. 'eye medicine', green sulphate of iron, L. [NEW RECORD, same L]
  • 112169.1 (H3B) netrau*ṣadhI [p= 569] : f. Odina Pinnata L. (NEW L, same data as old 112169]

• 68 mw:nOka,112653:nOka:n: (CF)(IFC)
• 69 mw:pakzaDarodDAra,113135.1:pakzaDarodDAra:p: f. -> m. (confer PW)
• 70 mw:padyAmfta,115470:padyAmfta:p: Remove 'f'.
  This appears to be a non-independent word, but one used only as the first part of compound words naming literary works. Thus, the 'f' designation appears wrong, and no other gender seems warranted.

[gasyoun]

NEW L

Hope the additional L will not change the others L.

[funderburkjim]

@gasyoun For MW, inserting a new L definitely will NOT change the other Ls.

[gasyoun]

(IFC)

Wonder if there are non-f. IFC cases where the m. or n. is where it should not be as well, similar to f. as we see above in so many cases.

[funderburkjim]

Notice that the general rule followed in the standard form corrections above for the IFC cases is to mark them as 'n' (no change).

For example,

94 mw:bAzpaka,144878:bAzpaka:n: (IFC)
(H2) bāṣpaka [p= 730] : (ifc. f(ā).), steam, vapour, Suṡr. 

The interpretation is that when bAzpaka is used at the end of a compound (IFC) it means 'steam'; and when that compound has a feminine ending, then the ending is bAzpakA.

Using Advanced Search for MW, looking for bAzpaka as a suffix, one compound ending in bAzpaka is found:

स--बाष्पक [p= 1151,1] [L=232840] mfn. steaming, fuming, emitting vapour Suṡr.

So, in terms of the study of this issue, the IFC cases are 'false positives.' I think Dhaval's list did not include them, but the way I generated the list did include 28 of them.

[gasyoun]

Well done, as usual! I wonder if one can generate all the f. words from MW.

alajja:AP,AP90,CAE,CCS,MD,MW,MW72,PW,SCH,SHS,STC,WIL,YAT
alajjA:PW,VCP

MW has no alajjA, but has it as a potention. Jim, can we read out the potention?

[funderburkjim]

@gasyoun Yes. The forms implied by the 'lex' information in MW can be generated. I view this as a step between (a) MWlexnorm's listing of the 'standardized' lex information and (b) generation of declension tables. There are programs, written long ago, to do this; but I have not yet revised them,

In terms of number of words, the vast majority of these 'potential' forms (like alajjA) are trivially constructed. However, for a significant minority of the words, the construction is more complex. This complexity is for a variety of reasons. For example, consider headword 'apaSyat' (mfn.) To construct the feminine form , one has to realize that key2 is 'a-paSyat' and that paSyat is a present active participle; in this case MW shows mf(-antI)n as lex information for 'paSyat', so the feminine of 'a-paSyat' would be apaSyantI. But you can see that the construction reasoning is complex for such a case. And there are other complexities to handle.

I'd like to get this done this year, and this week have been working on an MW project which relates slightly to this.

[funderburkjim]

All the corrections now installed.

Hurray! Hope you can manage untill spring comes - so 1 year in 1 season :vertical_traffic_light:
