Jim advised me that it might be useful to re-post the list of "problem
particles" --indeed, it might have been wiser to post only a few at a time. 
The list below is shorter --I've removed the particles already discussed.

I believe I will remove "Muhu/muhu&" --the only question here was whether or
not "Muhu" (i.e., without the anuswara) was a valid form --likely an error
in the source due to permutation, etc.

"sammukhaa" also seems to be an easy one to solve --but I'd still be
interested in any comments on usage.  Of course, neither the CPD nor M. Cone
cover the letter "s"!
