@changes of padafinal s r before khar

A padafinal s स्, before a /khar, changes into H ः by sasajuSoruH and kharavasAn..., regardless of whether it is after a अ A आ or not.

A true r too changes into H ः before a /khar by kharavasAn....

Both those H ः will then change into —

H ः before p प् ph फ् k क् kh ख् ts त्स्
s स् before t त् th थ् s स्
S ष् before T ट् Th ठ् S ष्
z श् before c च् ch छ् z श्

These results are obtained by different rules —

H ः → H ः before p प् ph फ् k क् kh ख् by kupvoKkaFpauca
H ः → H ः before ts त्स् by zarparevis...
H ः → s स् before t त् th थ् by visarjanIy...
H ः → S ष् before T ट् Th ठ् by visarjanIy... and STunASTuH
H ः → z श् before c च् ch छ् by visarjanIy... and stozzcunAzcuH
H ः → s स् before s स् by vAzari
H ः → S ष् before S ष् by vAzari and STunASTuH
H ः → z श् before z श् by vAzari and stozzcunAzcuH

It is considered good manners to write with the letter H ः the s स् S ष् z श् sounds that came out of vAzari. In this website I write them like they sound, however.
