In the case of conjunct consonants alphabet r/र has a different rule to follow.
(A)Whenever a half Vyanjan(स्वर रहित)- alphabets with a standing line( T ), is joined to r/र, it is reduced in size, and a short-stroke is
attached below the line of the vyanjan.
It is known as ‘पदेन’ meaning पैरों पर लगा
हुआ.
e.g. –
क् + र – क्र - क्
+ र + म –
क्रम,
ग् + र – ग्र - ग् + र + ह - ग्रह
प् + र – प्र -
प् + र + बल - प्रबल
ब् + र ब्र - ब् + र + ज - ब्रज
when we pronounce these conjunct consonants the sound of r/र comes after the half Vyanjan (स्वर रहित).
(B) र as half vyanjan र् (स्वर रहित) is
called रेफ़ in Hindi grammar.
र् appears in between the alphabets of a word, and र् takes an upward curve form above the
next Vyanjan. e.g. –
र् + म – र्म - क + र् + म – कर्म
र् + च – र्च – ख + र् + च - खर्च
र् + द – र्द – स + र् + द - सर्द
It is to be noted that
no word starts with र् (रेफ़), it
always appears in between the alphabets of a word.
(C) With ट् (ta), ठ् (tha), ड् (da), ढ् (dha) छ् (cha), र appears as
( ª) below the Vyanjan. e.g. –
ट् + र – ट्र - ट् + र + क – ट्रक
ड् + र – ड्र,
- ड् + र + म – ड्रम
(D) Whenever a half Vyanjan (स्वर रहित) त् is joined to र, it is reduced in size, and a short-stroke is attached to the
vyanjan त .
त् + र – त्र
त् + र + स – त्रस
त् + रे + ता – त्रेता
मा + त् + रा - मात्रा
