The Subscribed Letters

Four consonants can be written below or subscribed to other consonants. Most of the subscribed letters change the pronunciation of the consonant they are attached to. All of the subscribed letters, except one, are written in a different way than when they are written as base letters. In the following tables you can see how to draw those letters as well as how to pronounce them.

Wa-zur does not affect the pronunciation of the base letter and therefore we have omitted recording these letters. You can hear how they are pronounced on the Alphabet page.
