I mean it does not seem to do what it is supposed to do. I tried testing
like this:

Only ("LL" "ಳ್ಳ್") in the consonant section of kn-itrans.mim:

Typing "aLL " yields  ಅಳ್ಳ್ 
Typing "aLLi " yields  ಅಳ್ಳಿ 
Typing "aLLL " yields  ಅಳ್ಳ್ಳ್ 
Typing "aLLLi " yields  ಅಳ್ಳ್ಳಿ

Only ("LLL" "ಳ್ಳ್") in the consonant section of kn-itrans.mim:

Typing "aLL " yields  ಅLL 
Typing "aLLi " yields  ಅLLಇ 
Typing "aLLL " yields  ಅಳ್ಳ್ 
Typing "aLLLi " yields  ಅಳ್ಳಿ

Both ("LL" "ಳ್ಳ್") and ("LLL" "ಳ್ಳ್") in the consonant section of kn-itrans.mim:

Typing "aLL " yields  ಅಳ್ಳ್ 
Typing "aLLi " yields  ಅಳ್ಳಿ 
Typing "aLLL " yields  ಅಳ್ಳ್ 
Typing "aLLLi " yields  ಅಳ್ಳಿ

So using both ("LL" "ಳ್ಳ್") and ("LLL" "ಳ್ಳ್") in the consonant section of
kn-itrans.mim like this:

diff --git a/MIM/kn-itrans.mim b/MIM/kn-itrans.mim
index d3c7480..e98167e 100644
--- a/MIM/kn-itrans.mim
+++ b/MIM/kn-itrans.mim

   ("dny" "ಜ್ಞ್")                 ; not in ITRANS Kannada table
   ("x" "ಕ್ಷ್")
   ("LL" "ಳ್ಳ್")
+  ("LLL" "ಳ್ಳ್")
   ("ks" "ಕ್ಸ್")
   ("ksh" "ಕ್ಷ್")
  )

seems to behave *exactly* like having only ("LL" "ಳ್ಳ್"). Adding the
("LLL" "ಳ್ಳ್") doesn’t seem to do what we want.

Probably "aLLLi " is supposed to yield ಅಳ್ಳ್ಇ but it doesn’t do that, I don’t 
know why not.

Any idea?
