Actually, RIT has a way of forcing either a pollu(n^ or m^) or sunna
(n& or m&). The problem is what to use for default.

As I said in my previous post, I think the default should be


As the last syllable:

        m        <sunna>        e.g     rAmam --> <rA><ma><sunna>
					^
        n        <n-pollu>      e.g     rAman --> <rA><ma><n-pollu>


In the middle of the word:

	m followed by     p P b B l L s S h H
	n followed by     k K g G c C j J T D t d

Think about it and let me know.
