Should the <ls>Gr.</ls> link to Monier Williams's own Grammar book, instead of Whitney's Grammar?

[Andhrabharati]

Under the HW eka (<L>39168), noticed this-- <ls>Gr. 200</ls>

The Practical Grammar of the Sanskrit Language (Monier Williams) has this under article 200--

And, Whitney's Sanskrit Grammar has the article 200 thus--

[gasyoun]

Seems you are right again.

[Andhrabharati]

Only at 3 places [<L>13538, <L>19472 and <L>37975], Whitney's Grammar is specifically mentioned.

[funderburkjim]

There are 11 cases of <ls>Gr.. See extract_gr.txt.

In 9 of these, a specific article number is given. These specific articles were examined in MW's Practical Grammar Of The Sanskrit Language Ed. 4 (archive.org ref).

And all matched. This further confirms that <ls>Gr. should ref to the Monier-Williams Grammar.

Regarding the two instances with no specific article number. These are verb forms of 'nam' and 'Baj'.

Note there are 969 matches in 833 lines for <ab>Gr\.</ab>. CDSL tooltip for abbreviation Gr. in mw is grammar, esp. Whitney’s Sanskrit Grammar.
I think the two <ls>Gr.</ls> should change to 'ab'.

Changes to make:

• change the two <ls>Gr.</ls> to <ab>Gr.</ab> in mw.txt
• Change the ls tooltip for <ls>Gr. to
  Practical Grammar Of The Sanskrit Language Ed. 4, Monier-Williams, 1877

Will make these changes now.

[Andhrabharati]

I guess, the ab tooltip also has to be changed to MW's Grammar.

If it were Whitney, it would have been specifically mentioned thus, as at the 3 places mentioned above.

[Andhrabharati]

And, your extract (with the ending info tags included) reminds me of a point I had noted down to ask sometime--

how are the below entries taken as "genuine root"? <s>iṣūya</s> [<L>29546] <s>makamakāya</s> [<L>153911]

[funderburkjim]

I am doubtful of changing the ab tooltip to MW's Grammar. In the MW list of (general) Abbreviations, 'Gr.` means 'Grammar' (not very helpful)

Yet I have an (unclear) memory that somewhere (probably in front matter of MW), the author says this Gr. usually refers to Whitney's grammar.

[funderburkjim]

Currentlly, the tooltip for <ab>Gr.</ab> is grammar, esp. Whitney’s Sanskrit Grammar

[funderburkjim]

Changing tooltip for <ab>Gr.</ab> to Grammar..

At least this will agree with the author's Abbreviation for Gr.

[funderburkjim]

The above changes made. I think this issue can be closed now.
