Kamal-uh or Padm-uh

Explanation:
Pucoug has written the word correctly in Sanskrit (Devnagari Script) but there is a danger of some misunderstanding. The last alphabet in a Sanskrit word is pronounced FULLY. In Hindi, the last alphabet in the word has a shorter pronunciation. So, Kamal is a Hindi word. The Sanskrit word is Kamal-uh [Not KamalA- please note]. You may also use Kamalum or Padmum.
