</div>From the point of view of natural language, I beg to differ. The<br>
ligature you are expecting is <NYA, SAKOT, NYA>. The name of the first<br>
element is given as หัวญะ (MFL) and is given in another of my sources<br>
as an example of the 5th consonant (i.e. the nasal consonant) of a varga<br>
(วรรค) combining with other consonants in the same varga. FWIW, my<br>
sources consistently transliterate it as ญญ or ญฺญ (implying ññ in<br>
Latin script transliteration for Pali), depending on whether the word is<br>
functioning in Northern Thai or in Pali.<br>
<br>
I don't expect to be able to find an example of <RANA, SAKOT, NYA>;<br>
such would be contrary to the grammar of Pali.<br>
