The files pertaining to the corrections are in https://github.com/sanskrit-lexicon/BEN/tree/master/2021-10-02.

Altogether, 180 lines in ben.txt are changed. These may be reviewed via the csl-orig commit above, or by the change1.txt transactions.

ṣ -> sh

23 changes here. These agree with AB's list, except for Ghoṣā, siriṣa (changed to śirīṣa for consistency, a print change), and śirīṣa. Although these are plant names, I don't think they are exactly Latin scientific names; hence, the diacritics are maintained. A small point, probably debatable.

In the course of looking at word with an ṣ , several inconsistent spellings were changed, such as Kriṣṇa -> Kṛṣṇa.

[Pagê

These were changed to [Page10. Also, enclosing markup, such as {%...%} was removed, as being incosistent with the convention for page break lines.

Bad pc numbers

These were caused by the [Pagê errors. All the relevant metalines were changed, and now have accurate <pc> values.

2 bad scan errors

the niryUha error and the `{#Sa#} error were corrected.
