When a padafinal m is before y v r l z S s h ,
it changes into /M (by monusvAraH). That M is pronounced as a hum.
Before any other consonant,
padafinal m still turns into /M (by monusvAraH),
but then that M turns into the nasal that has the same tongue position as that consonant (by anusvArasy...).
