SHS English word errors #64

Closed funderburkjim closed 3 years ago

funderburkjim commented 3 years ago

This work examines latest suggested corrections shs_error.txt prepared by Dhaval. This 'dictionary' is Shabda-Sagara Sanskrit-English Dictionary.

Copies of shs.txt and shs_error.txt (adjusted to have just one suggestion per line) are in temporary repository: https://github.com/sanskrit-lexicon/temp_corrections_ap90

These are ready for @sanskritisampada to pull, process, and push.

There are about 1300 items to examine.

This info may be of some use-

Sabdasagara is just a print of 3rd ed. of Wilson's Dictionary (1874), with the title changed for some undocumented reasons.

So comparing SHS and WIL could help identifying the errors in both.

funderburkjim commented 3 years ago

@Andhrabharati Yes. Was aware of the similarity, but appreciate the reminder. Have used Wilson numerous times in this exercise to correct the many print mistakes of SHS.

Incidentally, found a few (very few) instances where SHS adds information to Wilson; but have not kept track of these.

funderburkjim commented 3 years ago

see shs_error.txt for the changes made.

Sampada has finished her part. I have reviewed and am in process of installing corrections.

You might've compared with the Wilson 2nd ed., not the 3rd ed.

funderburkjim commented 3 years ago

Yes, according to our front matter, the Cologne digitization of Wilson is from the 2nd edition.

funderburkjim commented 3 years ago

About 940 corrections. And 830+ of these were classified as print changes.

This marathon now finished! @sanskritisampada Thank you!
