kāraka dependency

[gasyoun]

In 2016 our Usha Sanka had her PhD defended. The 5th chapter is what of most interest for me, called धातुकारकाकाङ्क्षा, it's about kāraka dependency on dhātu meanings. She has done dependency annotation for Sanskrit meanings, but not for the dhātus them-self - next step is missing. @funderburkjim if I look at the verbs in MW, I still see no additional verbal markup <H1><h><key1>yaj</key1><key2>yaj</key2><hom>1</hom></h>, so there is no way to find all the case abbreviations only in verbal articles:

<ab>nom.</ab>
<ab>acc.</ab>
<ab>instr.</ab>
<ab>dat.</ab>
<ab>abl.</ab>
<ab>gen.</ab>
<ab>loc.</ab>
<ab>voc.</ab>

So what I'm thinking off is adding case combinations to a list of roots like Whitney:

√ cyut "drip"
√ cur "steal"
√ dṛbh "bunch"
 - sam
√ dṛh "make firm"
√ cint "think"
 - anu
 - abhi
 - pari
 - pra
 - vi
 - sam
√ dās "vide √ das"
√ dāś "make offering"
√ daṃs "be wondrous"
√ dṛś "see"
 - anu
 - abhi
 - ā
 - ud
 - upa
 - ni
 - pari
 - pra
 - vi
 - sam
√ dadh "vide √ 1 dhā"
√ dad "vide √ 1 dā"
√ dagh "reach to"
 - ati
√ dah "burn"
 - ati
 - anu
 - upa
 - ni
 - nis
 - pari
 - pra
 - vi
 - sam

If I search for <ab>abl.</ab>, the 931 entries are mostly verbs, but still. Do you understand what I try to tell? Does it sound intriguing enough?

First, the term 'kAraka dependency' is not clear to me.

In mw under 'cur', to rob any one (acc.),

In mw under 'cyut', there are no such case abbreviations.

So you are interested in

• sifting through the MW verb entries
• Within each such verb entry, look for the instances of case abbreviations

Is this the idea ?

In mw under 'cur', to rob any one (acc.),

Right, it's an easy case.

In mw under 'cyut', there are no such case abbreviations.

In MW, no data, right. But the meanings ‘shaking, causing to fall, removing, destroying’ might give a clue later. The 5 contexts at http://www.sanskrit-linguistics.org/dcs/index.php?contents=fundstellen&IDWord=213152 can help as well.

Is this the idea ?

Exactly.

In @funderburkjim I do believe.

I will use different sources, but without verbs from MW it's a sad story, 10476-MW roots from MWlex @funderburkjim
