GRA

Grassmann, Hermann; Wörterbuch zum Rig-Veda. Leipzig, 1873.

This repository holds corrections, enhancements, and tooling for the Cologne digitization of the GRA dictionary. The canonical source data (gra.txt in SLP1 encoding) lives in csl-orig; the build system is in csl-pywork. Issues and corrections are tracked at the GRA GitHub issue tracker.
