AaSpelling
Reign (rule as a king or queen) is spelt with -eign and sounds like rain and rein, so do not confuse 'the reigning champion' with 'rein in' (control).
Reign (राजा या रानी के रूप में शासन करना) -eign से लिखा जाता है और rain तथा rein जैसा बोला जाता है, इसलिए 'the reigning champion' को 'rein in' (नियंत्रित करना) से भ्रमित न करें।
