ꦭ is one of the syllables in the Javanese script that represents the sounds /lɔ/, /la/. It is transliterated to Latin as "la", and sometimes in Indonesian orthography as "lo". It has two other forms (pasangan), which are ◌꧀ꦭ and ◌꧀ꦭꦸ (if followed by 'ꦸ' and several other glyphs), but represented by a single Unicode code point, U+A9AD.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Pasangan

[edit ]

Its pasangan form ◌꧀ꦭ, is located on the bottom side of the previous syllable. For example, ꦲꦤꦏ꧀ꦭꦺꦴꦫꦺꦴ - anak loro (two kids).

The pasangan has two forms, the other is used when the pasangan is followed by 'ꦸ', 'ꦹ', 'ꦿ', 'ꦽ', or 'ꦾ'. For example, ꦲꦤꦏ꧀ꦭꦸꦫꦃ - anak lurah (the child of a lurah)

Murda

[edit ]

The letter ꦭ doesn't have a murda form.
