[INDOLOGY] a i and ai

Dear List,
is there a way in Roman script for distinguishing in a compound the result of -aḥ + vowel other than a which could be i  =  a i, with hiatus, from the diphthong ai resulting from a/ā + e/ai ?
ex. manaḥ + indriya- = manaindrya- (?) beside mānasa + aindriya = mānasaindriya
In nâgarî script I find written mana indrya- with a space put between the two members, but it would look strange in Roman script. 
Any suggestion welcome.
Best wishes,
Christophe Vielle
