Thank you so much for your super-quick solution! Yes, it works, and "tra" is rendered as it should be. The little bit of testing did not reveal any bad side effects. In particular, I tried many consonant + ra patterns and they are all correctly rendered. If I find any other problems after using this for some more time, I will report.

Again, thank you very much for your time. Warm regards,
Mandar.
