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

p + u = pu<br />
