Floral Anusvāra?

[MAMMHOTH]

It's an anusvāra which sort of looks like one of those floral marks that seperate the cantos from another. I wonder if it could be a fancy replacement of kāṃ for ko. How will I encode this though?

This one is funny. Yes, probably it is a correction which has been beautified a bit. I've now changed it to <subst><del>kauśya</del><add rend="floral anusvāra">kāṃśya</add></subst>, that way it appears in a mouse over in the apparatus. https://muk.li/upama/haravijaya:26:hv-26-k?upama_ver=gzj9ghded0 . (Verse 26.11). I'd like to hear @chchch's take on this.

Thanks a lot.
It should actually be <subst><del>kośya</del><add rend="floral anusvāra">kāṃśya</add></subst> though, since for kau there would be another line to the left of the क in this MS. I changed it accordingly.

Good!

Hmm, that could almost be a candrabindu if I didn't know it was a correction. I guess it's just the vowel that's changed, so you could even do

<subst>k<del>o</del><add rend="floral anusvāra" place="above">āṃ</add></subst>

Of course! Thank you very much for that hint. :)

Good question actually. Thinking in terms of LaTeX export, limiting the
lemma to just the akSara affected, wouldn't that give you an apparatus
entry such as āṃ] Jpc; o Jac, which by itself might be confusing if there
is more than one āṃ in that line, or would the export routine expand the
lemma to a whole word?

[chchch]

The apparatus generator treats whitespace-delimited words as lemmata, but it also truncates variant readings if possible. The LaTeX export will create the same apparatus that you see in the HTML version. E.g.,

ca śarīraṃ] Ed; aśa° A.

You can actually change the behaviour of how the variant reading gets truncated by setting $minaffixlength in upama.php. Right now it's set to 2, which is pretty low, but the algorithm also makes sure that you don't split akṣaras — in the above example, it would never give you aś° as a variant reading.

Oh, o.k., fantastic!
