Practicing the Letter ओ (o)

Practice the letter ओ (o) and its mātrā ो (o). Some of the examples below are Hindi words, and some are transliterations of English words.

The first two words illustrate the similarity in appearance between the first forms of अ (a) and ओ (o). Remember that आ (ā) appears very similar, also. Their mātrās are also similar: keep in mind the difference between ा (ā) and ो (o).

Take note of the letter स्त (st). This is a conjunct, combining the letters स (sa) and त (ta). The fact that they are combined means that there is no inherent a sound between these consonants.
