UKT: The reader will see that both orthographical presentation of /|ashin|/ is not satisfactory from the point of view of English-Latin pronunciation. Perhaps, it would be better to accept {sa. ha.hto:} and spelled it as {a·shing} /|ashin|/, which I am sure would make my old Burmese teachers (particularly, Rector U Hla Shwe, U Hla Maung and U Kyaw Yin) and my mentors U Khin Maung Latt and Daw Khin Myo Chit, turn in their graves.
