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

In Sa�sk�ta, consonants represented with a stroke below e.g. as in k�cannot be pronounced except in conjunction with a vowel marked * e.g.k� (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�sk�ta grammer rules or words.
