What is the effect of adding the virama (್) below the letter ಧ?
Hint:
Think about how the virama changes the sound of a consonant.
The letter ಧ changes to ದ.
The inherent 'a' is silenced and the consonant can join the next one directly.
The letter ಧ remains the same.
The letter ಧ changes to ಭ.
Explanation
Adding the virama (್) below the letter ಧ silences the inherent 'a' and allows the consonant to join the next one directly.
