the Māheśvara (माहेश्वर) sūtras (सूत्र)
क प य् ka pa y
The line
ka, pa, and the marker y.
नेपालीमा
क, प, अनि चिन्ह य्। खय् भनेको सबै अघोष व्यञ्जन हो।
Where it sits
The sibilants are next. A marker between pa (प) and śa (श) lets the stops be named without the sibilants.
Split: ka (क) + pa (प) + y (य्)
