Is this Devanagari akshara ambiguous between "l̐lā" (with a nasalised
first consonant, as in Sanskrit) and "llā̃ " (with a nasalised vowel, as
in Hindi)?  If I understand correctly, the ISO 5919 transliterates the
first reading as "m̐llā", or "m̐l lā" if one is splitting words
combined by sandhi.

Richard.
