Dear Nyanatusita;

"Did you try the Thesaurus of Pali Gatha on the same website? It
seems to me that it is not finished yet."

I have never heard about it before til I saw it on that site.
If anyone knows about it, sure would be interesting in learning more.
There is also the Pali Tipi.taka.m Concordance of 1952 by Woodward and
others, dated to 1952 and "in progress" in Warder's bibliography.
Wonder what this did and what became of it? Warder says it is a "basic
tool for the study of the grammar and lexis of the canon" and
definitely sounds like something that computers excel at.

Seems like with a comprehensive online dictionary database, a
thesaurus would be another useful reference work that could be created
at least in a rough form, fairly quickly, and then be improved upon
gradually.

[Thank you again Piya Tan for the help. Will send personal thank you
later when I am completely finished so as not to use everyone's bandwidth]

With metta,
Jon
