ஒ-row (கொ ஙொ சொ …)
Tap any tile to hear the compound letter.
The ஒ-row compound letters — uyirmey (உயிர்மெய்) — are formed by joining each of the 18 pure consonants with the vowel ஒ. The result: 18 single glyphs that each carry one consonant and one vowel sound.
How they’re formed
க் + ஒ = கொ (ko) · ங் + ஒ = ஙொ (ṅo) · ச் + ஒ = சொ (co)
… and so on for all 18 consonants. The vowel sign ொ attaches to every consonant in the same way.
