Oh, Sanskrit's completely phonetic. The trick is the spelling of the word changes according to how it's pronounced based on the sounds the follow it. So picture blb being spelled blp if followed by a word beginning with "m," and spelled blbh if followed by a word beginning with "n," or bl- if followed by a vowel.
