(मि): Is there a letter? YES! A letter without any matra! And that letter is ख! Wait, no, look at that letter: it has a loop at the bottom-left, connecting to a vertical bar: ख. Wait, why does खcome afterक्खि? Could it be खि क्ख ख मि नी? Wait, look at the second curve: does it belong to the second letter or the third? It curves over the क्ख. Wait, could it be खि+क्ख+र? No, the letter has a round body and a stem. Let's look at standard transcription practices for OCR / text extraction: If a text clearly shows a typo, we transcribe what's printed, or the closest accurate reading. Let's look at: खिक्खखमिनीvsखिक्खिमितीvsखिक्खिरिणी. Wait! Look at the word in verse 18: Most people transcribe this exact line as: महोदरा खिक्खखमिनी च या स्यात् ।orमहोदरा खिक्खिरिणी च या स्यात् । Wait, let's look at the letters: Could it be:खिक्खिरिणीwhereरि` is broken?
