[INDOLOGY] Help/advice

Thanks, Hans. Wow, this solution works on my Mac. Now the next question is
this. When Pāṇini says that "ai, au" are nasal and udātta or svarita,
where do we place the signs for nasality and accent? On both segments of
"ai, au," or only on the final segment? We don't have this dilemma in
Devanagari.
