Let’s look at the letterम. This will be represented in English letters as ma. In this episode, we will examine how this letter looks, and hear words that have this letter at the beginning, in the middle, at the end, and in combination with an assortment of vowels.

How does it look?

Like the previous letter भ but has the line across the top, and is missing the first little loop.  That is, solid line across the top, a full lenth verticle bar to the right.  There is a Box with a a loop in the bottom left corner on the outside of the box.

How to type it?

If you are using a US English keyboard with the standard Devanagari/Hindi layout, then you would press “c”
