Tamil Script/Sankaran Radhakrishnan
There are three secondary symbols used for the vowel, u . Each
secondary symbol will be added to a particular group of
consonants (see Appendix II for hand-movements).
The three groups of consonants are:
Group one: p, y, , , v
Group two: d, m, z, r, k, L
Group three: , n, nj, l, R, n, N
1. A little line stroke extended downward to the primary
letter as given ( [ ) indicates the presence of the vowel u.
Compare 'Group one' primary letters , p, y, , v, that are added to the
vowel u. They look like , , , , '[ after the secondary symbol is
added (see Chart II, Appendix II, and Table I).
Note that the secondary symbol for the vowel u in this case is an extension of
the last stroke of the primary consonant.
