c12.s5.5

(iv) The letter *gha* is formed from the rounded form of *ga* turned upside down, but its left arm is extended upwards and a vertical stroke is added in the middle (Fig. 4. VI). This round form is very common, but in the Kalasi R.E. (XI–XIV) and rarely in the Dhauli and Jaugad R.E.s (Pl. IV*a*) it has a flattened bottom. The S.E. has no angular form as noted wrongly by Bühler.
