Lesson 2 Continued.....(Vowels Continued )

(ii) अS (S)

A brief stop in between two alphabets and insertion of half अ gives rise to this sound. It is used frequently both medially and also some times finally but is not used initially. Some of the important examples of its usage are:-

अSछ = Eye(s)	अSड = Half (Adj. fem.)	रSछ = Amulet
घSर = Watch and 24 minutes	हSज = Curved (Adj. fem.)	गSरि = At/In home
बSदी = Wickedness	रSद्दी = Scrap	अSन्द्रम = Intestines
नSदी = River	कSरि = (He/She/It) will do	ज़Sर = Deaf (Adj. fem.)
पSछ = (After) A fortnight	लSर = House	मSरि = Will die
तSर = She has crossed over	तSरि = He/She will cross over	छSलि = Will wash
गSलि = Will vanish	गSज = She has perished	कSज = (Adj./fem.) Dumb

NOTE:- In sanskrit language every consonant has inborn sound of (अअ). This visarg restricts this sound of (अअ).For instance क alphabet is pronounced as कअ and the visarg omits अ sound from it.
