I was looking though Maha Sena's textbook on Tai Tham for Pali, and I
noticed that he had a Lao script Pali section that made use of a nukta
that seems to me to be indistinguishable from U+0EBA LAO SIGN PALI
VIRAMA. Is it therefore in order to use that character for this nukta,
just as U
-headline-height nukta as a separate Unicode code
point.
The document I posted previously, which I attach again for reference,
lists printed documents in which various placements for (I hardly dare
say) nuktas are used, including more than one use by more than one
author, in both India and Bangladesh

Is Ta+Nukta a valid/existing character?

As a sidepoint (not really relevant, but it may matter), ISCII-91
does use the combination of vowel with nukta, in both standalone
and vowel sign form.
short ri + nukta gives long rii
s
cts if compiled a while ago there are at
least two cases of conjuncts in which both consonants have a nukta:
1. Ka + nukta + halant + ka + nukta = qqa
2. Ka + nukta + hanant + pha + nukta = qfa
I think:
1. Any consonant can have a nukta. But if a Unicode character includes a
precomposed nukta, U
Hi Ken,
I do agree on all the explaination on how to apply Nukta and how to
determine the syllable.
Just only one little comment that I wouldn't substitue a ( Ka + Nukta )
for a ( ka ) in this sample,unless it does requires by the linguistic that it's
correct to do so with the reas

I think the valid way to bracket this is:
[{( Ka + Nukta ) + Virama} + {( Ta + Nukta ) + Virama} + Sa]
Where each () pair indicates the nuktated consonantal value of a CV

Thanks for the opinion.

Hi Hindi-experts again,
Just want to know if usaully, only one nukta applied to only one consonant
in the consonant cluster, Right ?
and it can be one consonant of any consonants in the cluster, right ?
Ex 1:Ka + Nukta + Virama + Ta --> 1 syllable
Ex 2:Ka + Nukta + Virama + Ta + Nu
Yes, the nukta form of a consonant in Devanagari can have a half form.
Thus: Ka + Nukta + Virama -> Ka_half_with_Nukta
The above resultant is half form of 'Ka + Nukta'.
Thanks,

Hi any hindi experts,
I have a question about hindi.
Does hindi have the half-form of the case where hindi consonant has the nukta ?
Ex: inp: Ka + Nukta + Virama + Ma
Would that be the half form of "Ka + Nukta + Virama" ?
