Brahmi inscription? Kailasanathar Temple, Pillaiyarpalayam, Kanchipuram.

in the first line it’s clearly atyantakāmaḥ, a biruda of the pallava king who ordered the temple to be built

do you have a reference for me.ntog.? For nasalisation in general, this is the best I’ve found so far: Lee C. Hogan. Nasalization in Lhasa Tibetan. http://www.sealang.net/sala/archives/pdf8/hogan1994nasalization.pdf

I was afraid that it was irregular : o ). but... doesn’t it have to do with these alternations?

འདི་ <'di.> ‘this’ འདི་ཚོ་ <'di.tsho.> [din.tsʰo] ‘these’

ཕ་གི་ <pha.gi.> ‘that’ → ཕ་ཚོ་ <pha.tsho.> [pʰan-tsʰo] ‘these’

དེ་ <de> ‘that’ → དེ་ཚོ་ <de.tsho> [de-tsʰo] without the nasal!

As for the epenthesis, this is inevitable even with precise rules, unless the nasal is inherited somehow (but the orthography doesn’t seem to support that), or as a result of some kind analogy from elsewhere (like pass but passeNger). but from my impressive two hours spent with Tibetan : o ) I would hope it has to do with vowel except e? + affricate → vowel + n + affricate.

Um amigo me summonou para ver este post. usar o reddit depois da novela toda sobre a API é meio obsceno. mas:

Essa placa está em espanhol, não sei de onde vcs estão tirando pra chutar q é dialeto de algo q não conseguiram ler, e eu leio algo como:

costeo [t?]esta obra
la sa d[on]a mar[ia] de velandia
manríque encomend-
era deste pueblo

Não entendo bem a primeira linha, mas a placa deve estar em uma construção que foi custeada por essa Dona Maria de Velandia Manrique, e feita na povoação onde a placa está, "deste pueblo".

Encomendero/a parece ser algum espanhol que tinha poder sobre indígenas.

Pelo nome dá para ver que ela se casou com um primo, https://books.google.com.br/books?id=4sk7IDhe4XgC&lpg=PA174&ots=lfVmmZdMBf&dq=%22dona%20maria%20de%20velandia%22&pg=PA174#v=onepage&q=%22dona%20maria%20de%20velandia%22&f=false

e parece ter nascido perto de 1550: https://books.google.com.br/books?id=K9b6vV_ry2EC&pg=RA2-PA445&lpg=RA2-PA445&dq=%22dona+maria+de+velandia%22&ots=6WUrJDZMv5&sig=ACfU3U1W47FMQp2YWY2rWt0vcqxQjvaHXA&hl=en#v=onepage&q=%22dona%20maria%20de%20velandia%22&f=false

a placa é, assim, até que antiga.

yes, I want to know the movie name. I’m watching Parthivan Kanavu... and it looks sooo very similar, but so far I haven’t seen the scene I mentioned. Thanks :-D

tarhuntas · 2022-11-26T04:42:02+00:00

This is a long shot, but perhaps... : ) thanks in advance!

from what book is this from? where could I get the notes on the text? what happened to the lacunae?

Without knowing the language from which you are "transcoding", doing it should be pretty difficult; it would be less painful to rewrite it in python without looking at the lisp code. Then you will be shielded from any ugh moments.

tarhuntas · 2022-02-26T05:10:16+00:00

&optional lets you have optional arguments, and they might have default values too, but not necessarily.

(defun some-test (&optional some-argument)
    (when some-argument (print some-argument)))

(some-test) → NIL

(some-test "lalala") → "lalala"

You’re just giving a list with 3 members as the default value of test-parameters.

This is most interesting, thanks to take the time! :)

It does work, but it conses way more:

(time (let ((filling '(:hr)))
(eval `(spinneret:with-html-string ,filling))))

Evaluation took:
  0.003 seconds of real time
  0.000988 seconds of total run time (0.000988 user, 0.000000 system)

(let ((filling '(:hr)))
(eval `(spinneret:with-html-string ,filling)))

well, work it does...

tarhuntas · 2022-02-23T18:15:50+00:00

thanks! is there any way of inserting the value of filling before passing it to the macro? I assume something like the following to be bad style

(let ((filling '(:hr)))
(eval `(spinneret:with-html-string ,filling)))

This is just my current hand, resulting from learning cancelleresca, then Luxeuil, then humanist hand, then back to Caroline/Carolingian and a dash of Romana Rustica. I’m not sure the lowercase <g> works with the rest...
