SV: Online version of A Critical Pali Dictionary

Dear Mark,

The idea has been to make it possible for users to search for words without
having to distinguish between palatal n, dental n and retroflex n and other
diacritics. It works fine, you just have to identify the word you are
looking for on the list that is displayed and click on it. Try, for
instance, looking up att* or the like.

Regards,
Ole

Dear Ole,



The search engine also does not make a distinction between dental /n/ and
palatal /ñ/, with the latter not being available among the characters with
diacritics for input. Although not a major limitation, is there scope for
introducing this distinction?



Regards

Mark

Dear Pali freinds,

The online version of all published volumes and fascicles of A Critical Pali
Dictionary is now accessible at <http://pali. <http://pali.hum.ku.dk/cpd>
hum.ku.dk/cpd>
http://pali. <http://pali.hum.ku.dk/cpd.> hum.ku.dk/cpd. We only need to
address a few things before the
online version has been finalised. Anyway, it is now searchable. Please
notice that the search engine does not distinguish between e.g. retroflex
/t/ and dental /t/. This makes searching easy. Just identify the word you
are looking for in the list and click on it. You have the option of
searching for words in articles e.g. for upani.sad, which shows that
Andersen and Smith had traced an important pasage in Chandogyopani.sad,
which shows that Pali upanisa (< Sanskrit upani.sad) in the sense of cause,
condition, is already recorded in Vedic Sanskrit. You may use * when
searching if you wish, e.g. upani.s* or the like.

Best wishes,
Ole Holten Pind
