in reply to a message by Cleveland Kent Evans

To parse, I need an example of something I know containing a s with a dot below. Two sibilants in Sanskrit are used in the name santoSa (satisfaction), and the third one appears in shiva (the name of the phallic god of destruction etymologically probably related to a root for swelling): is the s with dot below any of these?

Thanks once more.

In Gandhi's book, Santosa does have a dot below the second "s". Siva is written with an accent mark above the S.
