ോ

• IPA^(key): /oː/

ോ • (ō)

1. The combining form of the long vowel ഓ (ō).

• This letter is actually a pair which sandwiches the consonant .
• It is sometimes erroneously transliterated as ēā instead of correct o by analogy with diacritics representing ē and ā (see above), for example, in Google Translate, thus, തോൽ (tōl, “birk”) was transliterated as tēāl (it is now discarded since the romanization scheme has been changed). This feature, subtituting ō with ēā, however, has been inherited from its ancestor script Pallava.[1]
