Adding abbreviations

[funderburkjim]

Caujolle pointed out instances of three abbreviations in BUR that were not marked as abbreviations in the digitization. These abbreviations actually occur several times:

abbrev	expansion	# times
Ep.	épithète	16
ordint.	ordinairement	14
S.	substantif	2576

To implement these changes takes 2 steps:

• Change digitization bur.txt by marking the abbreviations, e.g. Ep. -> <ab>Ep.</ab>
  • This was done by introducing 16+14+2576 = 2606 change transactions in manualByLine05.txt for BUR
  • There are a small number of lines (< 10) where more than one of these abbreviations occur. We have to be sure there are NOT multiple transactions in manualByLine05 for a given line number. Otherwise, an error message is seen:

    jfunderb@dialog6$ python updateByLine.py ../orig/bur06.txt manualByLine05.txt ../orig/bur.txt
    (135478, 'lines read from', '../orig/bur06.txt')
    CHANGE ERROR #2: Old mismatch line 4807 of manualByLine05.txt
    ('Change record lnum =', 115863)
    Change old text:
    | | Bd. vertu, moralité. || Qqf. beauté. -- S. <ab>m.</ab> grand serpent.
    Change old input:
    || Bd. vertu, moralité. || <ab>Qqf.</ab> beauté. -- <ab>S.</ab> <ab>m.</ab> grand serpent.
    line from ../orig/bur06.txt:

• update burab
  • pywork/burab/readme.txt shows how to do this, and install the burab.sqlite file in the web/sqlite directory

@drdhaval2785 knows how to?

Dhaval now knows how to. But as Jim has already let his pythons loose, I am holding my pythons in cage, so as to minimize collateral damage.

Dhaval now knows how to.

For Burnouf, the abbreviations are an extra (in addition to digitization) resource needed by displays. The docuwiki will need to identify such extra resources for all the dictionaries.

BTW, my pythons have been de-fanged, so they are free to roam. Very friendly when you get to know them.

Another remark from Caujolle regarding BUR Related to this thread.

I noted another abbreviation which is not documented in the list, it is "euph."
it means "pour l'euphonie"

note also that when i looked for "euph." one word only appeared in the list
whereas when i looked for "euph" 19 words appeared in the list
so the first one do have something wrong in its data i guess compared to the other one (as it appeared with a blank after euph)

Anyway it would be more naturel to find euph. when asking for "euph." and not only for "euph".

same remark for Vd. for example where on find when looking for vd and vd. respectively 1091 and 321 occurences .
