30. How are 'i' and 'u' pronounced when they stand before
ṭa, ṇa, la, ḷa, r̥a, zha?

'I' and 'u' when they stand before 'ṭa', 'ṇa', 'la', 'ḷa',
'r̥a', 'zha' (N. B. with a following 'a') are cerebralized
and pronounced more like 'e' and 'o'.

Ex: 'iṭam' is pronounced 'yeṭam',

ur̥appu ,, or̥appu.

31. In how many ways are surds pronounced?

In two ways; the five surds have their proper pronun-
ciation, only when they stand at the beginning of a
word, or when they are doubled.

Ex: kal, chakka, ṭankam, tachchan, paṭṭar, pattu, tappu.

32. How are surds pronounced when they stand in the
middle of a word?

They are pronounced like the corresponding sonants.

Ex: 'vaka' is pronounced 'vaha', *

arachu ,, arašu,

shadanggam ,, (derivative form = shaṭangngu),

atu ,, adu.

So also 'pápam' may also be pronounced 'pávam'.

33. What are the consonants called when they are not
followed by a vowel?

The forms which the consonants ṇ, n, r, l, ḷ assume when
the inherent vowel is suppressed are called (in Mala-
yálam) half-letters.

34. What peculiarity is there in the half 'l'?<nowiki>* N. B. Gh, representing the sonant of the German or Scotch
'ch' would more nearly represent this sound to a European.
