The 27 nakshatras and their naming sounds

A nakshatra is the birth-star section holding the Moon at the moment of birth. Each has four padas, and each pada carries one traditional starting sound for a baby name. Open a nakshatra for its sounds, sample names with attested meanings, and a cited verse where one exists.
