(xix) The letter *dha* has two main varieties. The first resembles the Roman capital letter ‘D’, and the second is its exact reverse. The first is very common. Bühler is right in deriving it from *da*. In this case the verticals meet at the centre of the semi-circle instead of going farther away from it as in *da* (Fig. 1).
