<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hi all,<br><br></div>there is a subtle problem. The original design of Velthuis (at least as I found it somewhere) was case insensitive. It was thus possible to use normal English capitalization as Indra, Brahma etc. Thus both i and I was short (hrasva) i and both ii and II was long (dirgha) i. Aspirated bh could be entered either as bh or Bh. The current version no longer has the feature so capitalizd vowel are dirgha and capitalized consonants are aspirated. The following are several variants of the same word:<br><br></div>bhaa.saa<br></div>bhA.saa<br></div>bhA.sA<br></div>BA.sA<br></div>Baa.saa<br><br></div>I think that ITRANS never had such a feature. I do not know the exact specification of ITRANS, I have never used it but you can look at the xetex-devanagari package here <a href="https://ctan.org/pkg/xetex-devanagari">https://ctan.org/pkg/xetex-devanagari</a><br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Zdeněk Wagner<br><a href="http://ttsm.icpf.cas.cz/team/wagner.shtml" target="_blank">http://ttsm.icpf.cas.cz/team/wagner.shtml</a><br><a href="http://icebearsoft.euweb.cz" target="_blank">http://icebearsoft.euweb.cz</a></div></div>
