It is very difficult to search for a word in a Bur-Myan dictionary. I find the same difficulty in Pal-Myan dictionaries. When I complained to my friend U Tun Tint of MLC, he put it down to my "ignorance". I then noticed that when I asked him to search for a word, he seems to be relying on his "memory" rather than on his "understanding": Bur-Myan speakers usually rely on mnemonic rhymes to aid their memory rather than apply analysis to come to an understanding. See my note on Understanding the TOC (Table of Content). The reason why I have moved out
{ak} to next page is part of my effort.
Derivatives of
{ak} realized in Pal-Myan as
{ak~ka.},
{ak~kha.} [Skt:
{ak~Sa.}],
{ag}, &
{ing} seem to form a separate series due to the effects of the differences in pronunciations of IE (Indo-European) and Tib-Bur (Tibeto-Burman). The first effect, and probably the most important, is the change in pronunciation of the peak or nuclear vowel of the syllable checked by the killed consonant:
{ak},
{ag},
{ing}. This effect is exacerbated in the nasal where the checking of the vowel is not complete resulting in realization of three pitch-registers:
{ing.},
{ing},
{ing:} .

Pali is not as rhotic as Sanskrit. We find in Sanskrit, a very rhotic vowel
{a.kRi.}. Phonologically
{a.ki.} should be followed by rhotic
{a.kRi.}. However, in Sanskrit dictionaries such as A Practical Sanskrit Dictionary by A. A. Macdonell (see my edition: http://www.tuninst.net/SED-MC/MC-indx.htm 121012), you will see this vowel only after
{a.ku.} . The following are two entries from Macdonell, p001c3 (p001c3-b23 & -b24):
p001c3-b23
• अकृच्छ्रलङ्घ्य akrcchralanghya

UKT from UHS-PMD0004: the doctrine of not doing either good {ku.þol} or bad {a.ku.þol}.
(Pāli). The doctrine (vāda) that there are no consequences to moral acts. This doctrine was taught by many of the Buddha's contempories, including the Six Sectarian Teachers (with the exception of the Jain leader Nigaṇṭha Nātaputta). The teaching of akiriya-vāda is contrary to the belief in karma, and was condemned by the Buddha for this reason. His own teachings belong in the category of kiriya-vāda doctrines. -- Oxford Dict of Buddhism

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pottery_in_the_Indian_subcontinent 121022
Pottery in the Indian subcontinent has
an ancient history and is one of the most tangible and
iconic elements of regional art. Evidence of pottery
has been found in the early settlements of
Mehrgarh from the Indus Valley Civilisation.
[UKT ¶]
Mehrgarh (Brahui: Mehrgaŕh, Urdu: مہرگڑھ), one of the most important Neolithic (7000 BCE to c. 2500 BCE) sites in archaeology, lies on the "Kachi plain" of now Balochistan, Pakistan. It is one of the earliest sites with evidence of farming (wheat and barley) and herding (cattle, sheep and goats) in South Asia." [1]
Mehrgarh is now seen as a precursor to the Indus Valley Civilization.
-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehrgarh 121022
Today, it is a cultural art that is still practiced extensively in India and Pakistan.
Today, pottery thrives as an art form in India, and it is slowly gaining awareness as a functional items as well. Various platforms, including potters' markets and online pottery boutiques have contributed to this trend.
Wilhelm Rau (1900) has examined the references to pottery in Vedic texts like the Black Yajur Veda and the Taittiriya Samhita. According to his study, Vedic pottery is for example hand-made and unpainted. According to Kuzmina (1983), Vedic pottery that matches Willhelm's Rau description cannot be found in Asia Minor and Central Asia, though the pottery of Andronovo is similar in some respects. [1]
India has a great and ancient tradition of pottery making. The origin of pottery in India can be traced back to the neolithic age, with coarse handmade pottery - bowls, jars, vessels - in various colors such as red, orange, brown, black and cream. The real beginning of Indian pottery is with the Indus Valley Civilization. There is proof of pottery being constructed in two ways, handmade and wheel-made. [2] Harrappan and Mohanjodaro cultures heralded the age of wheel-made pottery, characterized by well-burnt black painted red wares.
During first millennium BC, painted grey ware was found in parts of North India and the Gangetic plain. Decorated pottery becomes significant in the Sunga, Kushan and Gupta periods. [3]

It is very difficult to search for a word in a Bur-Myan dictionary. I find the same difficulty in Pal-Myan dictionaries.

I then noticed that when I asked him to search for a word, he seems to be relying on his "memory" rather than on his "understanding". Bur-Myan speakers usually rely on mnemonic rhymes to aid their memory rather than apply analysis to come to an understanding.
The TOC is generally based on the vowel-series which we have to learn in kindergarten. I found the same with Skt-Dev: अ आ इ ई उ ऊ , and the same with other Indic dictionaries.
Comparing what I have found to the IPA vowel-quadrilateral, I have come up with:
¤ corner vowels:
{a.},
{a} ||
{i.},
{i} ||
{u.},
{u} ||
{au.},
{au}
¤ mid-vowels:{é.},
{é} ||
{è.},
{èý} ||
{o.},
{o}
¤ nasal vowels:{än.},
{än}
The reader will notice that I have ignored the emphatic pitch-register, and have considered only the modal-registers - the short and the long. I have also ignored the vowel letters.
