UKT: {thhya:hpru}
is the same as {hsi:hpru}
, Emblica officinalis
(fam:) Euphobiaceae.
My interest in this plant at this point is the orthography. The
word initial pronunciation is /ʃæː/ similar to <ship> /ʃɪp/. How
is /ʃæː/ to be written akshara: {thhya:hpru}
or {rha:hpru}
?
There was a controversy among Burmese-Myanmar scholars for some
time until Myanmarsar Commission settled the matter by adopting {rha:}
as the
official spelling. However this results in Romabama spelling {rha:}.
Please note that Romabama is a transliteration -- not transcription. Since
the pronunciation
is "sha" ( /ʃæː/ in IPA ), the alternative spelling
{thhya:}
is preferable for
transliteration among various aksharas such as
Devanagari for Hindi names, Bengali-script, Tamil-script, and Nepali-script.
