What happens when the virama (್) is added below the letter ಠ?
Hint: Pay attention to the effect of the virama on the inherent sound of the letter.
The letter ಠ changes its pronunciation to a different sound.
The inherent 'a' is silenced, and the consonant can join the next one directly.
The letter ಠ becomes a vowel in the Kannada alphabet.
The letter ಠ remains the same, and its pronunciation does not change.
