Re: Usage of "madhu" in the discussions on Madhurai in Tamil Nadu and Mathura in North India:

The northern city's name is pronounced in Skt. with "thh" an aspirated voiceless "th" which would not normally have anything to do with "madhhu" (sweet liquid) which in Skt. with "dhh" an aspirated voiced "dh".
