 Notes
 * 1) Only the vowel forms that appear at the beginning of a syllable are listed; the forms used for vowels following a consonant can be found in grammars; no distinction between the two is made in transliteration.
 * 2) The vowel a is implicit after all consonants and consonant clusters and is supplied in transliteration, with the following exceptions:
 * a) when another vowel is indicated by its appropriate sign; and
 * b) when the absence of any vowel is indicated by the subscript sign ( ◌् ) called halanta or virāma.
 * 1) Exception: Anusvāra is transliterated by:
 * a) ṅ before gutturals,
 * b) ñ before palatals,
 * c) ṇ before cerebrals,
 * d) n before dentals, and
 * e) m before labials.
 * 1) When doubled, avagraha is transliterated by two apostrophes ( ’’ ).
