Description of problem: bn-itrans needs modifications, incorrect mappings & errors Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): m17n-db-bengali-1.3.3-39.fc7 How reproducible: Every time Erroneous combinations 1. aa^r 2. m.h 3. tt 4. ttb 5. tth 6. tn 7. tb 8. tm 9. tr 10. nt 11. ntu 12. ntb 13. ntr 14. st 15. str 16. Rg Error 16 is probably a case of typographical error and the combination can be written if the combining characters are correctly typed in from the main table of vowels and consonants. Error 1 is an important one. Error 2 is confusing as it mentions adding a (U09CD) to the consonant when the U09CD is automatically enjoined, thus in effect not resulting in any valid input. This can have either of the two interpretations and usage method: @ m = U09AE+U09CD (automatic inclusion of U09CD, which will not be explicit in case another consonant or vowel is typed in consecutively) @ ma.h = U09AE + U09CD + U0985 + U09CD (forced inclusion of U09CD to be explicitly present even if a consonant or vowel is typed in. This is required in some cases) Additionally U09AE is used here (and in the charts) as a representation of other consonants which can be used in a similar manner.

bn-itrans.mim is part of upstream m17n-db. It should not be separately included in m17n-db-indic.
Issues 3-15 can be resolved by adding a halant to "t" character. m.h is to be left as it is as per our (runa & me) discussion Also, as aa^r is no logical combination, it can be also left out. Further, since "R" as in itself does not maps to any Bengali character, "Rg" can also be left out. Hence, in essence, the only fix to this bug is of adding halant to "t"
Our earlier patch - bn-itrans-t-182227.patch which seemed coming from bug 182227 is to be modified. The hunk which removes the halant from "t" is to be deleted, which should solve this problem.
