More nifty dicts

[vvasuki]

Besides Apte, I like shabdasAgara - consider adding it .

Also shabdArthakaustubha (available on indic-dict/stardict-sanskrit) , example below:

From शब्दार्थकौस्तुभः sa-kn
शिल्प

शिल्प

पदविभागः - नपुंसकलिङ्गः
कन्नडार्थः - ಕಲೆ /ಕುಶಲವಿದ್ಯೆ /ಚಿತ್ರ ನೃತ್ಯ ಗೀತ ಮೊದಲಾದುವು
निष्पत्तिः - शील (समाधौ) - "पः" धातोः ह्रस्वश्च निपा० (उ० ३-२८)
प्रयोगाः - "पात्रविशेषे न्यस्तं गुणान्तरं व्रजति शिल्पमाधातुः"
उल्लेखाः - माल० १-६

शिल्प

पदविभागः - पुल्लिङ्गः
कन्नडार्थः - ಸ್ರುವ /ಯಜ್ಞದ ಪಾತ್ರೆ

शिल्प

पदविभागः - पुल्लिङ्गः
कन्नडार्थः - ಕೈಗಾರಿಕೆ

Added the Shabdasagara in 84d36a0. Changes are live, e.g.:

https://ambuda.org/dictionaries/shabdasagara/nara

Adding the Shabdasagara is easy since it follows the format of the other Cologne dictionaries. For the शब्दार्थकौस्तुभ, I'd rather not add stardict support if it's just to support one additional dictionary.

Options are:

• If you can find 3 high-quality dictionaries in this format for 3 different Indian languages, I'll happily add the support.
• Otherwise, please submit a PR. See the scripts in ambuda/seed/dictionaries for reference.

You don't need to add stardict support for that. The format is pretty simple - just open and see https://github.com/indic-dict/stardict-sanskrit/blob/master/sa-head/other-indic-entries/shabdArtha_kaustubha/shabdArtha_kaustubha.babylon . You can import it in no time. Basically, each entry is 3 lines like:

अऋणिन्
अऋणिन्<br><br><b>पदविभागः - </b>विशेष्यनिघ्नम्<br><b>कन्नडार्थः - </b>ಋಣವಿಲ್ಲದ / ಸಾಲವಿಲ್ಲದ<br><b>व्युत्पत्तिः - </b>न ऋणी |<br><b>प्रयोगाः - </b>“दिवसस्याष्टमे भागे शाकं पचति यो नरः । अऋणी चाप्रवासी च स रात्रिञ्चर मोदते” ||<br><b>उल्लेखाः - </b>भा० ।<br><b>विस्तारः - </b>[ऋ ಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ವ್ಯಂಜನತ್ವವನ್ನು ಒಪ್ಪುವುದರಿಂದ ಇಲ್ಲಿ “नृट्” ಆಗಮವು ಬಂದಿರುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.]<br><br>

or

HEADWORD
DEFINITION
EMPTY_LINE

(Reopening since this is a third option beyond what was considered earlier.)

[akprasad]

There's a lot of noise in the dictionary data: keys with slashes, parentheses, spaces, ... Some examples:

prati+hana
svedavipruw(z)
haratejas/bIjam/vIryam

I have the code ready, but I don't feel good about deploying this kind of data. Let me know when the file is clean and I'll land & deploy.

[vvasuki]

Thanks for notifying me - I'd not noticed these. Despite missing all those headwords, I'd found this dict so useful. Why don't you omit all entries with pluses, spaces and parantheses and import the rest? I have manually solved many of the problems myself (you should now treat | as a headword separator, so that उष|दाहे|ओषति lists 3 headwords for the same definition), and have scheduled a task for a proofreader I employ - https://trello.com/c/vhbbJ1Qf . I'll let you know when the data is further cleaned.

If you are OK with babylon format mentioned by Vishvas above, all dictionaries of CDSL may be used in that format from above repository.

Added in 5ac5504.

It took more time than I expected to parse out the structure of each dict entry. So in the short-term this is all the work I plan to do for this dictionary. If there are future updates for this dict in terms of presentation or data, please send a PR and I'll happily merge it.

To summarize our conversation on Discord: I prefer XML for its richer structure, and the CDSL XML files also update more frequently.
