ANNOUNCE: Article on Vedic Accents
In designing the SKT-series of Devanagari fonts, I found it very difficult to get hold of basic information regarding Vedic accentuation (both the symbols and their significance). The information that I have managed to gather is presented in a short article which discusses the accent changes that arise in continuous speech (sa.mhitaa), their pronunciation, and the various systems of notation. It is available at:
[http://sanskritdocuments.org/all_pdf/accents.pdf]
It is a 100-kbyte Postscript file that runs to six pages. Comments, corrections, additions, etc. are most welcome. Regards, Charles Wikner. wikner@nacdh4.nac.ac.za 18 March 1997
