I would like to start with the top 100 word forms. They account for 31% of
all the words in the Pali Canon *as you see them*.
An entry would look like this:
word form:
count:
baseword:
definition: (very basic)
grammar form(s):
example(s): short, simple example(s) with their English translation(s).
notes:
Please use Pali transliteration for the Pali parts.
Even if two or three people do the list at the same time, the group can
benefit from the various defintions/examples. Any typos or "unclear" bits
can be spotted and discussed quickly.
Here are the top 100 word forms on the CSCD with their counts.
That's a total of 843,592 words (about 31%) of all the words in the Pali
Canon - exactly as you will see them on the CSCD.
Does anyone want to take on this list and post it to the group? Filled out,
the email would be about 3K and I think that this is acceptable on the
group. Any objections if someone wants to fill out the list and post the
"completed list" on the group?
