Regarding my edit to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayaanadhi
This is regarding your reverting my minor edit here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/14.139.69.131 If you are familiar with Indian languages, it should be fairly common knowledge that the last syllables of the word has to be rendered in English as "nadi" and not "nadhi". It is a Sanskrit word meaning river and there is no word as the latter. I have no idea why the incorrect form is all over the internet. I am not sure about Wikipedia's policy whether the common/popular stylisation, though erroneous, supersedes the correct rendering. My edit, however, was made in good faith.

This isn't the only issue with that rendering of the word "Mayaanadhi" however. The single "a" at the first syllable and the double "a" at the second gives the feeling, to a non-native, that the former is a short vowel, while in fact both vowels are the long "a". Somebody more knowledgeable should comment on this.
