What is the effect of adding the virama (್) to the consonant ಥ?
Hint:
Think about what the virama (್) does in Kannada script.
It changes the sound of ಥ to a different vowel sound
It silences the inherent 'a' and allows ಥ to join the next consonant directly
It makes ಥ a standalone vowel
It changes the stroke order of ಥ
Explanation
When the virama (್) is added to ಥ, it silences the inherent 'a' and allows ಥ to join the next consonant directly.
