Tyberg lists the romanization of food as 'anna' but it looks like it
should be 'atra' , especially given the Monier-Williams romanization:

Terrence,
The double 'n' in the word 'food' can be written two different ways in देवनागरी -
न्न or न्न It is not confused with 'tr' (त्र) because of the little 'hook' on the 'n'-form. You may wish to expand the font to see it better.
