What happens when the virama (್) is added below the Kannada consonant 'ಟ'?
Hint:Think about what the virama does in the Kannada script.
The letter 'ಟ' becomes a vowel.
The inherent 'a' is silenced and the consonant can join the next one directly.
The consonant 'ಟ' changes to a completely different sound.
The letter 'ಟ' remains the same with no change.
Explanation
When the virama (್) is added below the Kannada consonant 'ಟ', it silences the inherent 'a' and allows this consonant to join the next one directly.
