- (Optionally, depending on project) Mark new headwords with a string - say “############”.
- Fix egregious errors - especially in the headwords - to facilitate lookup.
- Typo errors in the meanings are more tolerable (usually the fixes are obvious to the reader).
- Don’t worry too much about formatting (ie line-breaks within an entry and the like). (Reason: The text is likely to be consumed to make (stardict and other) dictionaries.)
For example: If in the current text we have:
हेमाब्दानुशासनलधुन्यास a short comm-
entary on Hemacandra'sSabdanu-
Sव्रsana written by Devendrastri.
हेमाब्दानुशासनव्राते a short gloss call-
ed अवचूरि also, written by a Jain
grammarian नन्दसुन्दर on the ईम-
इब्दानुद्भासन. _
ह्यस्तनी imperfect tense; a term
used by ancient grammarians for
the affixes of the immediate past
tense, but not comprising the
present day, corresponding to the
term लङ्क of Pafini. The term is
found in the Katantra and Haima-
candra grammars; cf. Kt. III.
1.23, 27; cf. Hema. III. 3.9.
इस्व short, a term used in connec-
tion with the short vowels taking
a umit of time measured by one
matra for their utterance: cf.
ऊकालेोज्इरस्वदीर्घप्लुत: P. I. 2.27.
This should be replaced with (note bolded letters such as श ह्र which have been fixed.):
