Talk:သိက္ခါ

RFV discussion: May 2021–January 2024
Pali. I have grave doubts about the spelling of this word. I am unable to find any Pali examples by googling (the hits I have seem to be Burmese, not Pali) and, for what its worth, the Burmese Wiktionary entry at my:သိက္ခာ implies that it is written with round AA, not tall AA. (However, the Burmese Wiktionary entry has been loaded by bots.) Unless they are near homographs, the Burmese word also appears with round AA and with asat instead of stacking, i.e. as.

's edit of sikkhā from https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=sikkh%C4%81&oldid=58147529 to https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=sikkh%C4%81&oldid=61036914 on 4 November 2020 asserts that the spelling of the Pali word has tall AA, not round AA.

Can anyone, e.g., verify the spelling pattern for Pali, i.e. that that stack is followed by round AA rather than tall AA in Pali.RichardW57 (talk) 22:58, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Further reason to distrust the Burmese dictionary data held at sealang.net for the shape of AA in . I just looked up  and got ဥပေက္ခါ, which now exists on Wiktionary only as a redirect;  moved the form with tall AA to round AA.  (Unfortunately no reason was given for the move, though one easily guess why it was done.) --RichardW57 (talk) 16:14, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Burmese.

I don't believe sealang.net provides a true representation of the word. Show us a picture! Other on-line dictionaries are showing သိက္ခာ instead. The SEALang rendering could be due to a faulty algorithm for resolving pre-Unicode 5.1 AA as round AA or TALL AA, e.g. 'tall after KHA' instead of 'tall after non-subscript KHA'. --RichardW57 (talk) 20:10, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
