As I just found out this morning, looking at a Hindi grammar / phonology
site (I'm making a Hindi version of Latin, sort of... like Romance Hindi,
but backwards). Hindi and Sanskrit (and Urdu) are similar....
Anywho, that would be D<super>h</super>, or (if you can't view HTML) D
super-h. I was confused because I'm stupid and I've seen precedents for dh
as a digraph.
