I thought that Bedell's suggestion was brilliant, and a radical
departure from any of the symbols used previously.  Will anyone use it
in print?

We actually discussed this off-list in another vein, viz., to what
extent the PTS standard for the anuswara (".m") can be suffered or
modified.  My own position on this is simply that "dot below" cannot
indicate both the retroflex ".n" and the anuswara ".m" --I'm willing
to accept almost any other solution, and (as you all probably regret)
I've been using a slight modification of the English-Pali Dictionary's
system ("n"-with-hook-on-right-leg for the anuswara).

E.M.
