The issue comes when you mistype and have to correct, to give the usual worst case, the first letter of a conjunct. Now, I looked at your page in Firefox on Ubuntu, and I found the cursor seemed to move by extended grapheme cluster. That means that to change a consonant you have to retype the following marks. I did find two issues with your analyser. Firstly, it broke श्रीमान्को into श्री·मा·न्को, which does not concatenate back to the original. Secondly, you have a problem with ANUDATTA. You are not accepting <U+0924, U+0902, U+0952> as a syllable. Perhaps you believed https://www.microsoft.com/typography/OpenTypeDev/devanagari/intro.htm as to the structure of a Devanagari syllable. I suspect ANUDATTA as a consonant modifier went out when U+097B DEVANAGARI LETTER GGA and the like came in. Richard.
