sattva misspelling in AE

[funderburkjim]

A user noticed several cases in AE where 'sattva' was misspelled as 'satva'.

Further examination leads me to think that most of these are print error.

The user noticed this error under headwords froth, linsey-woolsey (a new word to me!), restore and rich.

A search for satva in the ae.txt digitization resulted in several 10s of cases.

Here are the ones corrected so far:

The reason for introducing this issue is to deal with the rest of the cases.

I'd like to come up with a simple form-based application that would facilitate crowd-sourcing (or at least providing a basis for sharing the work) of checking the other cases.

[funderburkjim]

Noticed 'niHsatvI-kf' under 'empty', a similar error, but not caught by 'satva' search.

[gasyoun]

Not a false orthographical convention? Anyway for us it's a typographic error, agree, @drdhaval2785 ?

[funderburkjim]

orthographical convention?

Doubtful, as there are cases where 'sattva' is correctly shown in print, e.g., under 'exist':

[funderburkjim]

Here is a program aiming to be a relatively friendly way for others to contribute to checking the cases.

The ones in green are ones I've done. Click one of the words (green or not), and if you know how to correct, click the appropriate type (no change, print, typo), then 'submit' (or click 'cancel' , or another word, if you're not sure what the answer is).

Hope some will give this a try.

Would welcome comments as to whether this is a step in the direction of making it easier for more to contribute.

Let me show it to a person who said he wanted to help, has knowledge, but never helped because of our non-UI.

[drdhaval2785]

Seems fine as UI. A link to PDF page is missing. Otherwise how will one know whether it is print error or typo?

[funderburkjim]

A link to PDF page is missing.

Actually, there is a page link within the record display (e.g., p=148 in the image above); this link is active, so following that link is the way to determine if a print error.

[drdhaval2785]

Yes.

I missed it. Can we make it more obvious ?

[gasyoun]

Can we make it more obvious ?

Like RED in CSS.

[funderburkjim]

All the cases have been examined. There were 9 corrections made. Sampada helped me finish these.

Also a typo under 'rescue', changing paritrayaDvaM to paritrAyaDvaM

(pari + root trE, 2d pl. imperative (low), atmanepada. Confirmed by MW and SanskritVerb generated forms).

These corrections now installed.

[funderburkjim]

Thanks for formatting comments (re scan link).

I'll take account of this when adapting this form to another situation.

[gasyoun]

Sampada helped - thanks to @sanskritisampada
