Hello,
I have some questions about the words used and their meanings in some
Telugu songs.
Please mail your replies to me. After a while, I'll post the
consolidated answers. This way, I won't be a sinner who caused lot of
irritating traffic on the net.

One is :  "appu chEsi pappu kUdu" cinemalo
          "sundarAngulanu chUsina vElala, kondaru mucchata padanEla?
           kondaru  'picchanu' padanEla?"  What is the meaning of
           'picchanu'? Adi 'bitthara' ani chAlAkAlam anukunevAdni,
           kAni kAdu.

Second one is :  "pAthAla bhairavi" lo
           "prEma kOsamai valalO padenE pApam pasivadu,
                  
            ---------   dEvula vEdukuni, tana komaruni kshemamu
            kOrukunee..   
 
            What is the word in the blank? Yenni sArlu vinnA
            nAku artham kAlEdu. 
            BTW, ee pAta yevaru pAdAru? It's not any of the popular
            singers, so please don't give answers like Ghantshala,
            AMRaja, Madhavapeddi etc.

Thank you,
Giri.

p.s.  Please do NOT post the replies on the network. Life is unhappy
      as such :-)  I can't take any more flames :-)

Subject: On Telugu spelling correction - 1
Organization: Rice University, Houston

       Correcting spellings in transliterated Telugu - 1


Language is a flux. It is a dynamical entity. What is considered
"correct" today may no longer be correct after some years. Same case
with what is considered "wrong" today.  In this sense, spelling
correction programs have a doubtful validity over time. Such programs
refer to the spelling conventions followed at a certain point of time,
in a certain region. Without such spatial and temporal locality,
spelling correction loses meaning. Within such limitations, however,
we can call some spellings incorrect and try to correct them.

Take English, for example. Say, we have a list (alphabetized) of
a million words which we call correct. Let us call this list a lexicon.
Then, the spell-checking problem, simply stated, is this: given a set
of words, find words that are not in the lexicon. This problem, as
stated, is a set-membership question: Is the given word in the
lexicon, or not? A modified problem asks more: if the given word is
not in the dictionary, then list all the words in the dictionary that
are close, in some sense, to the given word in question. For example,
"spacial" may not be in the lexicon, but "special" and "spatial" are
lexical entries that are close to "spacial".

Consider "talk", which can appear as "talk", "talks", "talked",
"talking", "talker". Since this paradigm holds for several words, we
may consider storing only the stems like "talk" in the lexicon, and
dynamically derive the others ("talks", "talked", "talking", "talker")
from the stems. We have a new spell-checking problem, with a reduced
lexicon, a proper subset of the lexicon. This obviously reduces the
storage requirement, but makes spell-checking problem harder; the
spell-checking problem is no longer a simple set-membership problem. A
solution to this problem is now rule-based, and is likely to perform
worse in that it may not detect wrong spellings, or may flag right
spellings as wrong, or do both.  The reason for this is that the rules
along with the reduced lexicon generate another lexicon, which may be
different from the lexicon we started with. For example, the Unix
spell program accepts "entoe" as an English word (en- is prefix, toe
is a verb).

With regard to this, the ideal situation is:

            reduced lexicon + rules = lexicon.

Of course, rules mean rules along with exception handling. For
a crude example:

            if verb is not "toe", then add en-verb.

Such an ideal situation is perhaps never achieved, with benefit. Of
course, one could add tons of rules to achieve the equality in the
above expression, but then it may be easier to search the unreduced
lexicon in the first place. 

                                                    (to continue)

Ananda Kishore

% rit prints spacial in Telugu, because it not an English word. 
% entoe is English by Unix spell, but we defaulted it to Telugu in rit.
% In this artice, I have to overrride rit's default: [english spacial entoe]

Times of India, October 20 1992

Guruvayoor, Oct. 19: Exactly a week ago, the headmaster of a school at Pavara-
tty received a threat from ISS activists that he would be beheaded on Oct.16
if he failed to settle the issue relating to some students wearing caps in the
classroom.

Even though, the deadline has passed off without the threat having been carried
out, the problem which has defied a solution for over two months, persists. The
school management and the Muslim youths, the pro-cap group have stuck to their
hardline position... The issue, it appears, has slipped into the hands of
hardliners. The school management is equally firm.

My earlier posting to this newsgroup requesting voices was a major

110 were evaluated to be usable (i.e. calls that were not hangups).
A BIG THANK YOU to all of you who graciously helped out by calling 
and recording their voices!

We still need quite a quite a few HINDI voices. So if you have not

Are you a FLUENT speaker of HINDI?
  
If so, we need your help in building a multi-language database of
speech recorded over the TELEPHONE. This database is to be used for
research purposes only.

We have set up a TOLL-FREE line (for the US only) that is open 
round-the-clock:

PLEASE CALL 1-800-723-6566

There is also a local area number for the Portland (Oregon)
metropolitan area and for international sites where the toll-free
number does not work:

PLEASE CALL (503) 690-1012

You will need a touch-tone phone for this call.  A pre-recorded message
in HINDI will guide you through a recording session. Please respond to
the prompts in HINDI only. The entire call will take about 5 minutes. 

As a token of our appreciation for your time and effort, you'll receive 
a $2 GIFT CERTIFICATE valid at TCBY or McDonald's.

If you have any questions or comments, any problems with the protocol,
or would just like more information about this project, send e-mail

You are obviously curious as to wether a raving psycho like you could be the
next target of such an investigation. Having access to an in-house medical
practitioner I can assure you that your case does present some interesting 
facets that might need more extensive study. However, it is recommended that
you refrain being intellectually active or committing acts of sodomy as these
have an effect of depleting ATP reserves in the body and causing MAO (mono
amine oxidase), dopaminergic and seretonin receptor down regulation in the 
brain. This receptor mediated endocytosis causes a consequent depletion in the
levels of the standard neurotransmitters and makes ordinary people  
"go over the edge" of which you seem to represent the most extreme case.  
It is also recomended that you consider seeing a psychiatrist immediately,
although it seems rational to assume that most shrinks would recommend
a combination of physical (bondage and whippings :-)) and chemical restraints (like Haldol, Navane, Thorazine etc) to cure your obsessive paranoid 
schizophrenia.

I hope this helps you to heal your inner self. But whatever else you might do,
please do get help. Believe me, you need it desperately. Your psychosomatic
personality disorders have progressed to a point where you need professional
help, badly. Maybe one day you will thank me for it...if you live to tell the
tale, of course.

Have a nice day.

Yep, but after NAFTA, the North American continent becomes the largest
trading bloc in the world, a bloc which even the Europeans ignore a
their peril. The might of the US is seen in that everyone is looking
to the US economy to revive first, since their own revival is hinged
on the revival of the US.

I'm not sure whether changes, if any, in indo-us relations will
result from Clinton. A much more likely scenario is tremendous
boost in Indo-US trade resulting in a much better political
relationship. The media will follow slightly later and
"discover" that nearly 850 plus million people reside in
that part of the South Asian sub-continent called India.
