Introduction

Pali Scope! is an online Pali language resource for students of the Pali Tipitaka. It is a free lexicordance (lexicon and concordance) which provides the etymology, semantics and syntax of words and compounds used in the Pali Canon. It also provides the frequency of each word in every section of the Tipitaka, and immediate context from the Canon for principal words, difficult words and special usage of a word. Other features of Pali Scope! include synonyms and antonyms of words, phrases and idioms, topical indexes and word lists, and multilingual translations.
