Classical Sanskrit
, is R:DCS a reliable resource to know if a Sanskrit word was or was not attested in the Vedic chronolect of the language? It otherwise appears to be good resource. ·~  dictátor · mundꟾ  16:23, 13 August 2021 (UTC)


 * dcs misses a lot of terms, tbh. monier-williams is the best. and beside himālaya, he gives Bhag. = Bhagavadgītā = Classical Sanskrit. if you have doubts search in sanskrit wikisource's vedic literature. — Svā rt ava  • 16:48, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * DCS does miss a lot of terms, even those attested in the Rig Veda. More importantly, "Vedic" does not refer to only the language of the Rig Veda; it's also the language used in the Taittiriya & Vajasenayi Samhitas and their respective Brahmanas (commentaries). But DCS's coverage of these texts is very poor. -- 𝓑𝓱𝓪𝓰𝓪𝓭𝓪𝓽𝓽𝓪(𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓴) 02:12, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
 * So I guess one needs to check other resources as well— I think Turner & Monier-Williams also have this information (by mentioning the literary works). On a different note, do you think it’s necessary to write  as etymons, especially for learned borrowings?  ·~   dictátor · mundꟾ  21:08, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, not strictly necessary as such; what I sometimes do is use  (and  ) for terms exclusive to those chronolects. But I think   should never be used with inh; (e.g.). -- 𝓑𝓱𝓪𝓰𝓪𝓭𝓪𝓽𝓽𝓪(𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓴)  02:15, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
