| definition | [pronunciation of the 41st letter of the Thai alphabet] | ||
| example | หอ นำ  | haawR namM | in Thai grammar, the name of the special function of the consonant ห in which it causes a subsequent low-class, sonorant consonant (ง, ณ, ญ, น, ม, ย, ร, ล, or ว) to determine its tone as if it were a high-class consonant. In this way, the syllable can obtain—depending on the vowel, final consonant type, and tone mark—a low, rising, or falling tone. |
