Lesson 4. A 4.A.1 Devanagarl Alphabet Here are the next ten consonants in devanagarl script. Each symbol includes the sound a; for example, the first symbol is ta and not just t. Note the differences between da na and i; gha and dha; and dha and da. The transliteration of the two rows of devanagarl characters is: ta tha da dha na ta tha da dha na (Taggor cT *T '7 g ? Note the form of the letters in relation to the | and | ruled lines. There may be a tendency to limit letters such as W and rT to the halfway point: this is a carry over from the Roman alphabet where it is appropriate, for example with 'P' and 'h'. As we shall see later, in devanagarl the top horizontal bar is extended to join the letters in a word, and this gives a bias of 'blackness' at the top of the letters: this is visually compensated for by using the | and | lines to 'open' the form of the letter.
