ṟa Written Letter ന്‌ റ ന്റ Or ൻറ Nṯa

pronounced /nda/

A small ṟa ‌റ is written below the first letter (chillu-n if it is a dead n). Alternatively, the letter ṟa is sometimes written to the right of the first letter, making a digraph. The spelling ൻറ is therefore read either nṟa (two separate letters) or nṯa (digraph) depending on the word.
