The full syllable table
*A few cells have printed variants across traditional panchangams; they are with our consulting Jyotishi for review, and we would rather pause than publish an uncertain syllable. The table follows the Sanskrit convention as commonly printed in South Indian panchangams; the syllable is a tradition and a starting place — parents always choose freely.
