Why is “Jain” sometimes spelled “Jaina”?
Words often have an inherent “a” (pronounced ‘uh’ as in ‘under’) sound at the end of them. Though English is not
very particular about this sound (many English words are not pronounced phonetically), Indian languages are very
particular about sound. Thus, the word “Jain”, spelled in Hindi or Gujarati, does contain the inherent “a” sound at
the end. In order to negate this sound, a special marker is placed under the particular letter. Therefore, to translate
the word “Jain” from Prakrit or Sanskrit, it may be spelled with our without the “a”, simply because when spoken, it
does contain an “a” sound at the end.
