What happens when the virama (್) is added below the letter "ಟ"?
Hint:Look at the section on 'Half Letter ಟ್ (ṭa halant)'
The letter "ಟ" changes its pronunciation to a different sound.
The inherent 'a' is silenced, and the consonant can join the next one directly.
The letter "ಟ" changes its stroke order.
The letter "ಟ" becomes a vowel.
Explanation
When the virama (್) is added below the letter "ಟ", it silences the inherent 'a' and allows the consonant to join the next one directly.
