Register or Login to view.hi sorry for not being clear i am saying the author originally would of made there notes from spoken word onto palm leaves, i believe it was copied from those to vellum some time later months/years to preserve them, so originally it would of been no straight lines mainly loops, the text now is a hybrid, also ill explain the dicitonary below its easier to take the explanation from ai as alot to retype in my own words, please dont mind
The dictionary: Fair challenge. The entries starting with "a, aa, aaa, aaaa, aaaah" look like junk but they're mostly not — "aaabharana" is ābharaṇa (ornament), "aaachaarya"
is ācārya (teacher), "aaadharana" is ādhāraṇa (support). The triple-a is a romanization artifact: "aa" represents long ā, so a word starting with ā + another a-initial
syllable becomes "aaa." There are about 269 entries starting with "aaa" out of 1,470,278 total — less than 0.02%. The first handful ("a, aa, aaa, aaaa, aaaaaaaa, aaaah") are
genuine noise — 32 entries total of repeated single characters in the entire file.
The dictionary is a computationally-derived modern Sinhala romanized wordlist with full morphological inflections (beheth, behetha, behethak, behethaka, behethakata... =
medicine + case/number suffixes). It contains real Sinhala vocabulary including medical terms (roga, aushadha, vaidya, kashaya, churna, ghrita, sneha). It is not AI-generated.
That said — the dictionary being modern is a real limitation, as I acknowledged. And you're right to push on data quality. I should document the dictionary source explicitly
in the paper. It currently doesn't say where it came from and it should.
thanks i will be offline till the morning but happy to answer more and any questions then thanks
Did you genuinely just respond to my criticism of running with whatever AI generates with.. an AI generated paragraph explaining why?
And the AI response is as lackluster as I would expect, saying its a "computationally-derived" wordlist that is "not AI-generated". It even admits that it "doesn't say where it came from".
