I looked for it for, like, a hour or so, but couldn’t find the scanned copies.

Thank you for your effort, but it looks like someone will have to create a scanned archive haha.

I tried to email those folks, but never got a reply back. Kinda irritating, but as a last resort, I think I’m gonna have to ask for permission from the university where the books are currently available, travel to the physical location myself, borrow a camera, and archive the scans on the internet.

Apparently, this dictionary is said to the most comprehensive for any Dravidian language, and has been awarded the Gundert Award. It is kind of frustrating that I did not know about this work before, because right now, I am using Mariappa Bhatt and Shankar Kedilya’s dictionary, which isn’t that comprehensive, and also lacks IPA guides for character phonetics.

Right now is not the best time for me, because I am jobless, and have some monetary issues right now. I am trying to create a open-source WordNet (yes, there is one already available, but I could not find the data) to prepare this for when resource-poor languages can be successfully introduced to LLMs.

How about the other way around? I want to switch to Guix, but I want to keep using Nixpkgs for the time being?
