   the fifty-third letter of the alphabet (Śmd. 12. 21); it takes the place of ಶ್ in tadbhavas (234. 235), becomes ಚ್ (83. 223; 283. 284), ಛ್ (83), ಜ್ (83. 204), and is elided (268. 270. 275), when occasionally it takes the form of the bindu (215); once it appears as ಗ್ (see ಸೀಳ್ 3 & ಸೀಳು 1); for its connection with ಳ್ cf. e. g. ಪಿಸುಕು with ಪಿಳಿ and see M. s. ಮಸಲ್ for that with ಡ್ and ಳ್ see e. g. the T., M. and Te. s. ಬಸಿ 1-3, for that with ಜ್ and ಯ್ e. g. the terms s. ಉಯ್ಯಲ್, ಬಸಿರ್ and ಸಯ್ 1, and for that with ಳ್ cf. e. g. ಹಿಸಿ with ಹಿಳಿ (in Tuḷu ಸ್ occasionally is the substitute of ಹ್, so that e. g. ಹಾದಿ, a road, appears as ಸಾದಿ; cf. Sk. ಸಿನ್ಧು and ಹಿನ್ದೂ). cf. also ಬೇಸನ 1 = ವಿಧಾನ; ಮಿಡುಕು 3 = ಮಿಸುಕು 1; ಮಿನುಕು 1 = ಮಿಸುಗು 1.
