BHS English word corrections

[funderburkjim]

We deal with the list of possible English word errors in bhs.txt (Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit Dictionary). The list is provided in bhs_error.txt at commit 7b27d61e4d.

[funderburkjim]

bhs_error.txt is too large (4075 items) to examine each individually.

Work was done (see above commit) to separate the list into 2 parts:

• bhs_error_ok.txt 3895 Assume these don't need to be examined now.
• bhs_error_todo.txt 180 . This is the list to examine individually.

@sanskritisampada will examine the todo list.

[funderburkjim]

@sanskritisampada finished.

bhs_error_ok.txt 3895 Assume these don't need to be examined now.

So all done?

[funderburkjim]

Yes, this task is considered done. -- Those 3895 'error_ok' cases are believed to be non-English.

[gasyoun]

3895 'error_ok' cases are believed to be non-English.

Should we mark them as such in the code?

[funderburkjim]

As I recall, many are Tibetan words, as the text indicates.
Someone versed in the specialty of this dictionary might benefit from adding markup. I don't think we should undertake such markup in the foreseeable future.

[gasyoun]

such markup in the foreseeable future.

At least we would not try to treat them as English words in the future, using AI approaches.
