Lect

[edit]

@Bhagadatta, Svartava Sorry about the late reply

This term is labelled as Magadhi in section Β§310 of Pischel's grammar, appears in the two Maharastri texts mentioned by Sheth's dictionary and occurs in the Jain Maharastri text MaαΉ‡ipati-Carita. So, the lects for 𑀫𑀒𑁆𑀣 (mattha) are Magadhi, Maharastri and Jain Maharastri. The lects for 𑀫𑀒𑁆𑀣𑀬 (matthaya) / 𑀫𑀒𑁆𑀣𑀅 (matthaa) are Ardhamagadhi, Jain Maharashtri (Β§366a) and Sauraseni (Β§185). 𑀫𑀒𑁆𑀣𑀕 (matthaga) is only Ardhamagadhi. 𑀫𑀒𑁆𑀣𑀏𑀑 (matthaeαΉ‡a) is the singular instrumental of 𑀫𑀒𑁆𑀣𑀬 (matthaya) / 𑀫𑀒𑁆𑀣𑀅 (matthaa) rather than 𑀫𑀒𑁆𑀣 (mattha).

@Kutchkutch: Thanks for the information! I've updated the existing entries accordingly. I didn't create matthaga yet because I couldn't find it in Pischel (I just did a search inside, which is often faulty though). Svartava (talk) 04:49, 21 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Svartava: Since 𑀫𑀒𑁆𑀣 is labelled as Magadhi in Pischel, should there be a Magadhi declension table as well, or is better to just have the Magadhi declension table at the expected form 𑀫𑀰𑁆𑀒 (maΕ›ta)? I don’t think matthaga appears in Pischel. I found that form in An Illustrated Ardha-Magadhi Dictionary, which needs a reference template. Kutchkutch (talk) 05:07, 21 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Kutchkutch: Sure, just added that. I'll try to create a reference template for the Ardhamagadhi dictionary. Svartava (talk) 05:18, 21 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Svartava Thanks for editing the entries. There are five volumes of that dictionary and multiple copies available of each volume, which is why there are so many results. 𑀫𑀒𑁆𑀣𑀬 (matthaya) and 𑀫𑀒𑁆𑀣𑀕 (matthaga) are in volume IV, page 102. The fifth volume has the title The remaining part of Ardha-Magadhi quadrilingual dictionary, or, Maharashtri and Deshya Prakrit dictionary. Kutchkutch (talk) 05:46, 21 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Kutchkutch: Should there be separate templates for the five volumes like {{R:pra:IAMD:1}} or should that be handled by a parameter only? Another problem I am facing with these is that there are multiple copies each having different publishing years. E.g. one Vol. IV copy shows 1932 while another Vol. V copy shows 1923.

@Svartava: Whichever method is easier is fine. Since each volume may have a different publishing year and link to archive.org perhaps a separate template for each volume would be easier. It was originally published between 1923-1932. Kutchkutch (talk) 06:18, 21 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
