Guest guest Posted January 10, 2001 Report Share Posted January 10, 2001 << sunder hattangadi Namaste, This is the glossary of words that Dennis has collected for the postings so far in BSB Sutra 2 [A and B]: [A] anubandha = preliminaries [qualifications, subject, connection, utility] .... >> I did send this email to Dennis privatly, but I beleive this little program would be of great benifit to the list, so I am posting part of the email again. As I sent to Dennis: _______________ In case you don't know this free program, http://www.babylon.com/index.html , I recommend it. The glossary are easy to create, and with one click on a word you see on the screen it opens up a world of glossary, dictionaries, encyclopedia that the user presets in his or her preferences. If ever you come to find a solution for your Sanskrit glossary, please do let me know. I just started to learn Sanskrit, so any form of help will be more than welcome. This program they give for free might also interest you, http://www.babylon.com/builder/index.html Antoine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
