What's New in Pothi

1,1,7

1.1.7 THE DICTIONARY This release is mostly the Mahan Kosh, and a tapped word answers better in nearly every way. The meaning comes first. Where an entry opens with the Sanskrit or Persian word it comes from, that source now sits below the meaning under its own heading, for every numbered sense of the entry rather than only the first. An entry whose whole meaning was a pointer to another word now shows the meaning it points at, with the pointer kept above it so nothing is put in the wrong word's mouth. Close to eight thousand meanings carried characters that came out of the original scan as the wrong letter or as an empty box. About one word tap in six met one. They read correctly now. 2,326 entries had lost their word origin and the marker that says whether a word is a noun or a verb. Both are back. 2,258 entries ran their numbered meanings together with nothing between them. Each meaning stands on its own again. A second dictionary rides with it: 1,025 headwords from SGGS Kosh by Dr Gurcharan Singh, badged as itself so it is never read as the Mahan Kosh. Nearly every word of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji now answers a tap. Search results, the Kosh letter pages and Word of the day used to preview thousands of entries as a single character. They show the meaning now. READING A bani opens where you stopped. Pothi recorded only the line a reading opened at, so Continue reading took you back to the first tuk of a bani you were halfway through. History opens the bani it names. Tapping Sukhmani Sahib in History opened Ang 262 in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji reader instead, which is a different reading with different settings. BANIS Collections, at the top of More banis: Sundar Gutka, Beant Bani, Vaaran and Savaiye. Ways to slice the banis Pothi already holds, so a reading is one tap from the gutka it belongs to. Vaaran holds all twenty-two vaars of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. SEARCH First letter search reaches all 2,675 kirtan shabads. 71 of them could not be found that way before, under any spelling. PROJECTOR The phone remote now has a switch, and it starts off. Turn it on in the operator's network sheet when you want it, and a fresh six digit code is made each time. The read along page the sangat scan is unaffected and stays open to everyone. The operator's controls fit a phone screen again. FIXED 170 lines of the Hindi arth had lost the danda that ends a line, and carried a Latin lookalike in its place. Four sections of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji declared a page span their own lines do not fill, and one of them ended past the end of the granth. Two dictionary entries answered with a harder word than the one you tapped, or with nothing at all. The first launch after this update takes a little longer than usual while the new dictionary is copied.
