Also letters ë and é represent = ^* and @ ^* respectively and F, Q, W, X and Z are not called to use.

In Sa¤skçta, consonants represented with a stroke below e.g. as in kÎ cannot be pronounced except in conjunction with a vowel marked ^* e.g. kÎ (k) + A (a) = k (ka).

For easy pronunciation while reading or reciting, in some publications, the break-up of the transliteration is based on the phonetic sounds and not on the basis of Sa¤skçta grammer rules or words.
