Lessons based on alphabet shapes - similar to u

Although the a-z blogging challenge is over, I think will post some lessons for those who are interested.
We can look at the telugu alphabets based on similarity of shape.
ల   అ  ఆ    అం  అః
la   a  aa  am  aH
Only la is the consonant, all others are vowels.
They all have the same shape that looks similar to the letter u. When speaking of this, I should mention that the u vowel sign also looks like the above shape.
కు = ku
So that completes the list of alphabets that have the shape like u.

z for zasamu

z for zasamu.
zasamu means fish.

There are two ja's in Telugu, one is aspirated ja and unaspirated jha.
ఝషము = zaShamu/JhaShamu
ఝ=jha/za
ష=Sha
ము=mu

Y for yantramu

Y for yantramu

yantramu means machine.
యంత్రము
యం=yam/yan
త్ర=tra
ము=mu
Remember, in telugu when two consonants come together as in tra=t+r+a or tri=t+r+i, the second consonant becomes a sign and the vowel sign corresponding to the second consonant is written on the first consonant.
త్రి  = త్ + ర్ + ఇ
tri  = t  +  r + i
Look the i sign is written on t rather than on the r which appears as a sign. The elongated u written below త(ta) is the sign/voththu for r.
So kri is written as క్రి

So mri is written as మ్రి
So pri is written as ప్రి
So for i is the comma like sign written on the top of the letter.
In cases where the tala kattu is written joined up to the letter, the sign is also joined up as in the case of vi(వి) and in case of pi(పి as in pin) the sign is written disjointed.

x for kshatriyudu

x for kShatriyudu

I have selected this alphabet because this is the one that is closely related to x but it is written as ksha(iksha)

క్షత్రియుడు - kShatriyudu 
kshatriyudu means a person belonging to the military caste. Sometimes warriors are also called kShatriyudu.


క్ + ష = క్ష
k + Sha = kSha
త్+ర + ఇ = త్రి
t + r + i = tri
యు = yu
డు = du
Remember, the u sign is similar to English u.


క + ఉ = కు
ka+u=ku
గ + ఉ = గు
ga+u=gu
య + ఉ = యు
ya+u = yu

W for wala

W for Wala
V and w are the same in Telugu.
