I have a few questions:

- What is the meaning of "satmaa" and "sadaatmaa"?

- Why is /tmaa/ spelled differently in the two words?

- Does ISCII have a way to distinguish the two cases above and the other
possible combinations? I mean:
        1. Ta_Ma_Ligature,
        2. Khanda_Ta + Ma,
        3. Half_Ta + Ma,
        4. Ta + Virama + Ma.

Dhanyabad!
