Guest guest Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 93 Regarding the "hrim" scribing i understood very little LOL - explanation is utmostly confusing. BTW there is one proper way of writing "hrim" - that is "hr+I (long)+M (bindu)". The ligature "hr" can be written in two slightly different manners. Regarding "> In both Sanskrit and Hindi, any short consonant preceeding a long > consonant is pronounced as a half consonant" - first of all it is nonsense LOL (i understood what U tryed to say, but long is vowel and not consonant), and secondly in sanskrit it is NEVER done as in Hindi.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 In Sanskrit you will generally find Hrim written as per attachment. In Hindi it is written differently.
