What rule can you use to get rid of the extra characters? If it's something you can explain to a 5 year old we can probably program it in.
I think somewhere there is a rule that is adding in an "a" after certain characters. So removing thst if you know the pattern or know the rules should be easy. Shall I give more examples to help you see the pattern?

Issue is if you remove all a then you will get things like
Stnaam, naank, prsaad
How does it know when to add the a between two consonants and when not to?
It has to do with compound words which we could go through our Gurbani and add hyphens for transmit purposes which then get stripped out but that's a lot of work and a bit odd
What do you think @Harjot1Singh and @Sarabveer ?
note to self: test a list of 4 letter words with no vowel between consonants 2 and 3.
Better served with a syllabification function and manual handling of syllable boundaries using the interpunct in DB
