On making a glossary

A reader asked for a glossary so I have finally gotten around to getting it out of the database. I have wanted to for a while. It is of course still temporary - nothing is ever final.

I managed to get the Hebrew-English glossary down to about 2500 pages. There were a number of technical glitches. At first I tried 23 separate files, but that was painful and they clearly needed some formatting. I tried an html to pdf converter but some of the files would not process and when I put everything into one file, it was too big (44M now down to 29M).

The 'final' file was too big for ms Word to read so I brought it up in chrome and via ctrl-a pasted it into a blank word document. (It's possible Word might open it now). Then I saved as docx. From there although very slow with Word repaginating  or wasting its time counting words every now and then, it was possible to save as pdf. Word crashed if I touched anything before saving it.

To develop the package I had to work out a way to break by stem, and collect the 'where found' into a sufficiently small space. For the big file, there is no formatting required for replacing it. For now I want to be able to reproduce it in as few steps as possible since it is subject to correction as I will demonstrate with this first sample.

Below you can see the longest word with the stem אב - is it this one ולאבותיהם? There's a very strange looking one at the bottom of the list. (Now fixed). I have no idea how this one happened!

Often an error will uncover a pattern of errors. But this one is impossible on all counts. Even my earliest algorithm for recognizing stems would never have deleted a tsade. And certainly not reversed אב to בא. So this looks like a one-off. Tsaade is of course in the 'first 11' (that's a cricket metaphor). It is among the 11 letters that do not act in a grammatical fashion.

(Ignore the links below - they are automatically put in by the blog and I didn't test the abbreviations.)
