Where it sits
The unvoiced stops are still ahead. They are split between 11 and 12 for the same kind of reason: so a name can end between them.
Split: ja (ज) + ba (ब) + ga (ग) + ḍa (ड) + da (द) + ś (श्)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| ja (ज) | consonant | the voiced stop ja (ज). |
| ba (ब) | consonant | the voiced stop ba (ब). |
| ga (ग) | consonant | the voiced stop ga (ग). |
| ḍa (ड) | consonant | the voiced stop ḍa (ड). |
| da (द) | consonant | the voiced stop da (द). |
| ś (श्) | it marker | the marker ś (श्). Not the letter śa (श) of 13. |
The phrases
jaś (जश्) is these five: the unaspirated voiced stops. jhaś (झश्) starts at jha (झ) in 8 and stops before this same marker, so it is every non-nasal voiced stop, aspirated and not.
Sanskrit in this line
The order inside the beat is not the throat-to-lip order. It is the order that makes the names come out.
Say it back
Say what jaś (जश्) keeps, and what jhaś (झश्) adds to it.
