An idea for consideration...

What I am looking for in praṇava ॐ or tāreṇa i.e. tāra another name for the monosyllable praṇava or oṁ ( also called oṁkāra ) is anusvāra .

I am looking for the 'cerebral nasal' sound we get when we say ṇa . This is what we find in oṁ , its final sound ṁ, and the cresent has a dot above it ॐ ; that is, how anusvāra is written symbolicially
in saṃskṛtam. Some (ṛṣi gaṇaka-ji ) call it an ornament ardhendu , a half-moon crescent - we see this on top of oṁ ॐ .
