Kaithi consonant and half-form {{subst:User:Vanisaac/iast|}}a.

{{subst:User:Vanisaac/iast|}}a ({{subst:User:Vanisaac/kthi|}}) is a consonant of the Kaithi abugida. It ultimately arose from the Brahmi letter [[Image:Brahmi {{subst:lc:}}.svg|13px|{{subst:User:Vanisaac/iast|}}]], via the Siddhaṃ letter [[Image:Siddham {{subst:lc:}}.svg|x15px|{{subst:User:Vanisaac/iast|}}a]] a. Like in other Indic scripts, Kaithi consonants have the inherent vowel "a", and take one of several modifying vowel signs to represent syllables with another vowel or no vowel at all.
