Hi,

 

I'm a proofreader working for a transcription company, and am currently working on a tape documenting the Vishwa Hindu Parishad party in India, specifically in Gujurat. As part of my job, everything must be spelled accurately. What I have not been able to find the spelling of is a ceremony that the VHP performed, which involved giving new members ceremonial knives, which I believe sounded like "Trishul" or "Drishul". If anyone knows the actual spelling of this, and would like to tell me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Lord Ziva's trident is called Trisul, Trisula, also spelled Trishul.

There are 3 separate s letters in SanskRt: palatal, cerebral, dental

For internet, due to limited keyboard, we agree to use z S s respectively.

Ergo, in cyberspace Trizul = Trishul = Trisul, all pronounced as/with palatal sibilant sh.

For printing u can use s accent à droit, s dotted below and dental s unaccented.

btw - Accent à droit means á, not à. This European keyboard can't cut it.

Use this accent mark above á above s' to print palatal s.

Actually human keyboard should have many more keys. Zabda-brahman key jaya!

As usual, dvipada-pazus can settle for less/fewer.
