@spelling of nd etc in this website

In this website I use the official spelling of M in the devanagari lettering, but not in when I type sanskrit in Roman letters; in the latter case I spell what sounds like n न् as n न्. I do that to help beginners to get used to reading things aloud. Advanced students will be annoyed bythat, but if they are advanced they should should be looking at the devanagari only, and reading it aloud the same way as the Roman.

Notice that the official spelling shows the difference in meaning of these two sentences:

azvAn tudati अश्वां तुदति "he tortures a mare"
azvAn tudati अश्वान्तुदति "he tortures horses"

But those two are ambiguous both in spoken Sanskrit and in my Roman spelling.
