Lesson 4

In this lesson we will learn four new consonants. All the four are similar in shape.
va → व, ba → ब, ka → क, kha → ख
Kha (ख) is an aspirated ka (क). Note that ख (kha) is similar to रव (rava).
This may cause confusion to beginners.
Have a look to the following syllables.
व (va), वा (vā), वु (vu), व् (v), ब (ba), बा (bā),
बु (bu), ब् (b) क (ka), का (kā), कु (ku), क् (k),
ख (kha), खा (khā), खु (khu), ख् (kh)
Repetion of all the syllables we already know. They are in alphabetical sequence.
क् – क – का – कु – ख् – ख – खा – खु – ग् – ग – गा – गु – त् – त – ता – तु – न् –
न – ना – नु – ब् – ब – बा – बु – भ् – भा – भु – म् – म – मा – मु – र् – र – रा – रु –
ल् – ल – ला – लु – व् – व – वा – वु – श् – श – शा – शु – स् – स – सा – सु।
Here is the Roman transcription:

na – nā – nu – b – ba – bā – bu – bh – bhā – bhu – m – ma – mā – mu – r – ra –
