What is the effect when a virama (್) is added below the Kannada consonant ಷ?
Hint: Think about how the virama affects the pronunciation of the consonant
The consonant ಷ changes to ಷ್, allowing the inherent 'a' to join the next consonant
The consonant ಷ changes to ಷ್, silencing the inherent 'a' and preventing it from joining the next consonant
The consonant ಷ changes to ಷ್, changing its pronunciation to a different retroflex sound
The consonant ಷ remains the same when a virama (್) is added below it
