; delete problem

[funderburkjim]

For each <L> there needs to be a balancing <LEND>.

In mw_AB.txt, this 'balanced' condition is violated.

This problem needs to be fixed.

one example:

line 736
<L>213<pc>2,1<k1>akalmaṣa<k2>a-kalmaṣa<e>1
<s>a-kalmaṣa</s>, <lex>mf(<s>{ā}</s>)n.</lex>   ¦ spotless.
; delete
; delete
<s>a-kalmaṣa</s>, <lex>m.</lex> ¦ <ab>N.</ab> of the fourth <s1>Manu</s1>, <ls>MatsyaP.</ls> //add(1308,1)
; delete   <<< this should be <LEND>
<L>213.2<pc>1308,1<k1>akalmāṣa<k2>á-kalmāṣa<e>1

Another example:

line 1646
<L>450<pc>3,1<k1>akṣāgrakīla<k2>akṣāgra-kīla<e>3
<s>akṣ〈ā〉gra-kīla</s> or <s>akṣ〈ā〉gra-kīlaka</s>, <lex>m.</lex> ¦ a linch-pin;
<LEND>    <<<< Should be '; delete'
; delete
    ¦ the pin fastening the yoke to the pole.
<LEND>
; delete
; delete
; delete
; delete
; delete
; delete
<L>454<pc>3,1<k1>akṣānah<k2>akṣā-náh<e>3

@Andhrabharati Can you fix this? There appear to be many (perhaps a few thousand) such instances.
If you prefer (such as because of your other family obligations now), and don't mind me changing mw_AB.txt, I can undertake to do the fix.

@Andhrabharati Can you fix this?

Yes @funderburkjim , I will correct this error and update the file.

There appear to be many (perhaps a few thousand) such instances.

There are just about 240 cases to 'handle'-- missing <LEND> between two <L> lines: 12 cases repeated <LEND> between two <L> lines: 8 cases two <LEND> lines between two <L> lines: 218 cases

L and LEND counts tallying.txt Not that many (!), though even a single occurrence should also be corrected.

[Andhrabharati]

Corrected, and @funderburkjim may close the issue after checking the updated file once.

[funderburkjim]

AB's corrections satisfy my concerns.
