ṁ versus ṃ #5

Closed thebuddhaswords closed 1 year ago

thebuddhaswords commented 1 year ago

While doing a few regexes to sort out the ṅ vs n issue, I notice that we may have a ṁ versus ṃ issue. For example, in AN4.170, in paragraph 4 of the Pali, there is vipassanāpubbangamaṁ but, in the list of ṅ vs n replacements, there's vipassanāpubbaṅgamaṃ.

In fact, it appears all the m's with a dot have ṃ in the list you kindly generated @bdhrs . TBW and Sutta Central both seem to use ṁ.

Can I safely replace ṃ with ṁ in the list or is there something I'm missing?

My database used the dot underneath as default, Sutta Central uses the dot on top. Luckily they're the same letter, so replace all, or I can regenerate the list with dot on top.

I can do the search and replace in your list but wanted to make sure I wasn't breaking something in the process.
