What is the effect of adding the virama (್) below ಭ in the Kannada alphabet?
Hint:
Look for the 'half letter' section in the topic description
It makes the letter ಭ invisible
It silences the inherent 'a' and allows this consonant to join the next one directly
It changes the sound of ಭ to a different vowel
It makes the letter ಭ uppercase
Explanation
Adding the virama (್) below ಭ silences the inherent 'a' and allows this consonant to join the next one directly.
