# Ha (Javanese)

ꦲ (ha), is a syllable in the Javanese script which represents the sound /hɔ/ or /ha/. The letter can also represent a null consonant, in which it would be pronounced as /ɔ/ or /a/. It is commonly transliterated to Latin as "ha" or "a" and sometimes as "ho" and "o".

## Pasangan

The letter's pasangan (◌꧀ꦲ) is one of six which are located on the right hand side of previous syllable, making it possible to stack two pasangans without the use of pangkon.

## Extended form

ꦲ doesn't have a murda form.

## Final consonant

ꦲ has a syllable-final form called wignyan (ꦃ) which replaces ha-pangkon combination. For example: "gajah" (elephant) is written as ꦒꦗꦃ, not ꦒꦗꦲ꧀

## Orthography

There are several rules regarding the writing of ꦲ, whether pronounced as "ha" or "a".
* ꦲ in front of a word is always transliterated as "a", except for foreign loan words. The same rule applies when sandhangan swara (vowel diacritics) is used.
** Read as "a": ꦲꦏꦸ - aku (me), ꦲꦺꦴꦫ - ora (not), ꦲꦶꦭꦁ - ilang (lost)
** Read as "ha": ꦲꦗꦶ - haji (hajj), ꦲꦺꦴꦠꦺꦭ꧀ - hotèl, ꦲꦶꦏ꧀ꦩꦠ꧀ - hikmat (wisdom)
    (Whether a word is considered a native Javanese or not will depend on the dictionary definition.)
* ꦲ in the middle of a word is almost always transliterated as "ha".
** ꦠꦲꦸ - tahu (tofu), not tau
** ꦫꦲꦪꦸ - ra-hayu (blessed), not rah-ayu (from root word ꦲꦪꦸ ayu (beauty))
    With the exception
** Certain words such as ꦩꦲꦺꦴꦱ꧀ - maos (reading) or ꦏꦺꦴꦱ꧀ - kaos (shirt)
** Words that end with "a" and has suffix -a, such as ꦲꦤꦲ - ana-a (let there be)
** Reduplicated word, where ꦲ in the beginning of the second word always transliterated as "a"
* In root word that ends with /h/ sound (in this sense, using wignyan) and has suffix (-i, -an, etc.), ꦲ (as in "ha") is added before the suffix.
** ꦥꦤꦼꦩ꧀ꦧꦃꦲꦤ꧀ - panembah-han (to address a royalty), from the root word ꦤꦼꦩ꧀ꦧꦃ - nembah (to bow, to respect)
* Root words that end with a vowel sound and have suffix -ake, its suffix is written as ꦏ꧀ꦲꦏꦺ
** ꦏꦠꦩ꧀ꦠꦺꦴꦏ꧀ꦲꦏꦺ - katamtokaké (have been chosen), not katamtokhaké, from the root word ꦠꦩ꧀ꦠꦸ - tamtu - (certain)
* ꦲ are added in front of root words with prefix ng-, ny-, m-, and n-, although this is not mandatory.
** ꦲꦔꦤ꧀ꦢꦶꦏ - ngandika (said), not hangandika nor angandika
* Root words that start with ꦲ with added prefix pi- or pri-, the syllable ꦲ become ꦪ (ya)
** ꦥꦶꦪꦒꦼꦩ꧀ - piyagem, from root word ꦲꦒꦼꦩ꧀ - agem.
