Hints and Suggestions
Close
- Suppose you want to search for
- You may enter the following string:
biroHo kusumomala niralay gNNathiO
- but a simpler string
biroho kusumo mala niralay gnathio
will also do.
- As per
bangtex
convention, the string is:
\*b*iroHo kusumomala \*n*iralay gNNa\*th*iO
- Note that "o" (small oh) is the unwritten "o" sound.
So if in doubt, use "o" (instead of "bsnt", write "bosonto"). Modified
string search would do a better job then.
- Modified string matches consonants and full
vowels.
("aeiou" ignored but not "AEIOU". See below if in doubt)
- Follow Bangla spelling. E.g. Use
"JuktakKor" , not "yuktakshor" or its variants.
Note the difference between "b" as in "Ambor" and "W" as in "dhWoni".
- If in doubt, use "?". E.g. ?osonto will look for
bosonto, Hosonto and similar words.
- Note that actual "O"-kar is a combination of "e" and "a".
Search string may not use that
