SKD alternate headwords

[drdhaval2785]

See
afRI [n]
aMSaBAk, [j]
etc.

A search for \[ regex in skd.xml will bring alternate headwords to front. 2544 such entries as of now. Majority are t/d, n, f, s etc ending words.

2544 such

Is a lot.

Majority are t/d, n, f, s etc ending words.

So you want to propose a simple solution to generate the new words?

[drdhaval2785]

Will try to formulate some strategy to find out alternate headwords with some confidence.
Whatever remains will be manually checked.

Please add a list first.

Regex is already given. Why clutter github with 2544 lines of output of that regex ?

These are different kinds of alternates than for VCP.

Conjecture:

• the first form is always a nominative singular form: afRI
• the second form is a clue to the general citation form that most dictionaries use: afRin.

If so, we might be able to get the general citation form by looking up the stem (citation form)
that generates a nominative singular. This lookup could use the inflected forms buried here or the inflected forms that Huet has provided.

One alternative approach would be to independently develop rules for deducing citation forms from
nominative singular forms.
