c12.s5.9

(viii and ix) The letter *jha* has only the angular form made by adding on the right an angular hook to the middle of the vertical so that the mouth opens upwards. Variations are seen in the shortening of the hook as in Pl. III*a* (Delhi-Topra P.E. VII), or in the angle between the hook and the vertical (Fig. 4. IX). *Ña* is this form of *jha* upside down with a stroke added to the top left.
