itrans-dvn: This mapping should be used with codings done in ITRANS,
where the output is desired in Devanagari script. The
codings are typically, but not necessarily, of Sanskrit
texts (they could also be, e.g., Hindi or Marathi).
+itrans-sdvn: This mapping is very similar to the above, but does not
+ need the use of a vowel `a' at the ends of words; thus,
