Reading it yourself

Not a language course. Tools for the specific problems that stop somebody reading a verse: what case is this word in, and why does it not look like the form in the dictionary.

13 checked roots

Six worked types

The morphology tools compute answers from grammatical rules. The compound explorer uses a fixed catalogue of worked examples because a compound cannot be classified from spelling alone. Nothing here is generated or guessed.

Corpus reference tools

  • DictionarySearch the reviewed BG 2.13 vocabulary in Devanāgarī, IAST or English.
  • RootsInspect the verbal and nominal roots present in the reviewed local corpus.
  • ConcordanceSee every occurrence in the currently published local verse corpus.

These tools deliberately report their small corpus size. New entries appear only when a reviewed verse supplies the word, root or occurrence.
