Re: Name meanings: Bhavisha, Elnieke, Neshalin & Hunwoo

The full entry:
Bhaviþa (Sanskrit) (Male) 1. striving to exist; lord of existence 3. Another name for Shiva.
The "s" in Bhavisa has a dot under it, but I couldn't find exactly that orthographic variation so I did the best I could. The program I am getting my non-Roman characters from obviously is not compatible with the one this site uses. :)

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.
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.
Thanks
