masculine nouns ending in 'a'

We derive this list from the lexnorm-all2 list by the simple filter a) key1 ends in short vowel 'a' b) lexnorm is precisely 'm'.

This excludes many adjectives and other nominals ending in 'a', since these will have more complex normalized lexnorm values, such as 'm:f:n', 'm:f#ikA':n'.

There are 49344 of these simple masculine nouns in 'a'. Their information is put into file: inputs/nominals/m_a.txt. For example, the two inputs from lexnorm-all2 are merged into one input in m_a.txt:

579 akzara  a-kzara m
592.1   akzara  a-kzara m

becomes:
m_a a-kzara 579,akzara:592.1,akzara

decline_file program

The decline_file program generates declensions based upon the model and stem (first two fields) of records in m_a.txt (or one of the other files of inputs/nominals/ directory). The output is written to a file in outputs/nominals/ directory under the same file name; e.g., in this case to outputs/nominals/m_a.txt.

The format of the output files generated by decline_file is a sequence of lines, each with 3 tab-delimited fields:

example of declension table

For the line m_a kUpa 53937,kUpa, the output line is m_a kUpa kUpaH:kUpO:kUpAH:kUpam:kUpO:kUpAn:kUpena:kUpAByAm:kUpEH:kUpAya:kUpAByAm:kUpeByaH:kUpAt:kUpAByAm:kUpeByaH:kUpasya:kUpayoH:kUpAnAm:kUpe:kUpayoH:kUpezu:kUpa:kUpO:kUpAH

It is easier to compare the declension table when it is formatted as a table:

Case S D P
Nominative kUpaH kUpO kUpAH
Accusative kUpam kUpO kUpAn
Instrumental kUpena kUpAByAm kUpEH
Dative kUpAya kUpAByAm kUpeByaH
Ablative kUpAt kUpAByAm kUpeByaH
Genitive kUpasya kUpayoH kUpAnAm
Locative kUpe kUpayoH kUpezu
Vocative kUpa kUpO kUpAH

This agrees with Deshpande, p. 35.

Declension of rAma

The declension of rAma with model m_a is:

Case S D P
Nominative rAmaH rAmO rAmAH
Accusative rAmam rAmO rAmAn
Instrumental rAmeRa rAmAByAm rAmEH
Dative rAmAya rAmAByAm rAmeByaH
Ablative rAmAt rAmAByAm rAmeByaH
Genitive rAmasya rAmayoH rAmARAm
Locative rAme rAmayoH rAmezu
Vocative rAma rAmO rAmAH

This agrees with Kale, Section 61, p. 35

decline_checks.txt

This file shows declension tables checked against various sources, such as the two shown above. As it progresses, this can be used as a reference when algorithmic differences are introduced.

If others find the need, I could develop a web application to show these declensions with choice of the user's model and key2. I'll probably do this eventually, once the algorithms are stable. One feature would be to allow the user's choice of how to represent Sanskrit. Since the internals of the algorithms use the SLP1 spelling of Sanskrit words, it is easiest to show outputs, such as the tables above, also in SLP1.

If our readers are bots - it will work best.

https://github.com/sanskrit-coders/indic_transliteration python package seems to support transliteration to and from SLP1 very well. So let us use it, if possible. So that custom transliteration code can be kept to bare minimum.

Exactly. Not even @SergeA can read it well, what to speak of other humans...

funderburkjim commented 6 years ago

Are you suggesting that all the inputs/outputs that I'm creating should be duplicated, so that there are not only slp1 spellings but also IAST spellings?

funderburkjim commented 6 years ago

re the indic_transliteration package.

Does this package support accents?

drdhaval2785 commented 5 years ago

Are you suggesting that all the inputs/outputs that I'm creating should be duplicated, so that there are not only slp1 spellings but also IAST spellings?

No. Internals can remain SLP1. Just suggesting the repository so that you can generate output to be displayed to examiner in different encodings of his choice or can take input in different encodings.

drdhaval2785 commented 5 years ago

Does this package support accents?

I guess no. Any specific requirements for accents @funderburkjim ?

gasyoun commented 5 years ago

Internals can remain SLP1

Right.
