A New Supplement Dictionary of Sanskrit

梵语起源于公元前2000年，对于印欧语言学和比较文化研究来说，梵语是必不可少的。在印度历史的大部分时间里，梵语是占主导地位的泛印度文化语言，其前现代科学和文学的丰富程度在其他前现代文明中是无法比拟的。即使在现代和当代印度，它也保留了其规范性和身份形成力量。梵语的词汇传递着可追溯至四千年前的意义世界，在两本划时代的参考著作中，即所谓的彼得格勒词典（PW 1875, PW 1889），这些词汇从未被取代。在他的补充卷R.施密特试图捕捉快速发展的新发现或第一版梵语文本以及研究历史语言学和单个单词的研究。因此，研究的实际状况与其在词典编纂中的表现之间的差距不断扩大。彼得格勒词典的增编以及大量的词汇研究和词汇表在各地出版，甚至开始了新的大型词典项目，例如普纳词典，然而，它不能完成字母表的第一个字母，但对一个特定单词的实际研究状况仍然只能不完全地和偶然地确定。对于21世纪大多数梵语文本的实际工作，19世纪的大型词典仍然是主要来源。为了纠正这种情况，从学术的角度来看，这种情况肯定是不可容忍的，一本累积的补充词典必须严格审查词典编纂研究的进展，并列出所有参考公认的彼得格勒词典的增补内容。因此，不同于其他词典项目只有在完成后才能充分使用，所有增编和补充都将在具有足够搜索功能和调查设施的互联网门户网站上提供。从长远来看，我们的目标是一个在线门户网站，其中科隆数字梵语词典和所有的附录和补充是均匀地集成。在三年的时间里（2009-2012），哈雷大学资助了这个项目的初步工作（寻找要评估的资源，编写sigla，开发输入方案等），该系统可以在试运行中进行微调。因此，《累积增补词典》的第一批条目将在项目工作开始后不久提供。

The Sanskrit language has its roots in the 2nd millenium B.C. and is indispensable for queries concerning Indo-European linguistics as well as comparative cultural studies. For the greater part of Indian history Sanskrit was the dominating pan-Indian cultured language and the richness of its pre-modern corpus of sciences and literatures has no counter-part in other pre-modern civilizations. It has retained its normative and identity forming power even into modern and contemporary India. The vocabulary of Sanskrit, which transports worlds of meaning that reach back up to four thousand years, was made accessible in two epochmaking reference works, the so-called Petrograde dictionaries (PW 1875, pw 1889), which have never been superseded. In his supplement volume R. Schmidt attempted in 1928 to capture the rapid development of new findings or first editions of Sanskrit texts as well asresearches in historical linguistics and studies of single words. Since, the gap between the actual state of research and its representation in lexicography widens continuously. Addenda to the Petrograde dictionary as well as an inordinate number of word studies and glossaries were published in various places, even new large-scale dictionary projects were initiated , as for instance the Poona dictionary that, however, could not finish the first letter of the alphabet, but the actual state of research on a specific word can still be ascertained only incompletely and by accident. For most of the practical work with Sanskrit texts in the 21st century the large dictionaries of the 19th century are still the main source. In order to remedy this situation, surely intolerable from an academic perspective, a cumulative supplementary dictionary would have to critically review the advancement of lexicographical studies and list all additions referring to the well-established Petrograde dictionary. Thus, unlike other dictionary projects which can only be fully used after their completion, all addenda and supplements will be made available on an internet portal with adequate search functions and investigation facilities. Perspectively, we aim at an online portal in which the Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries and all addenda and supplements are homogeneously integrated. In the course of three years (2009-2012) the University of Halle funded the preliminary work (search for sources to be evaluated, compilation of sigla, development of input schemes etc.) for this project and the system could be fine-tuned in a test-run. As a result the first entries to a Cumulative Supplement Dictionary would be available soon after the commencement of work on the project.
