3 A consonant symbol followed by a vowel other than the first vowel அ, produces a vowelised consonant.
e.g. ம + ஆ → மா
த + இ → தி
க + ஓ → ேகா
4 A consonant symbol followed by the same consonant symbol automatically puts a pulli for the first consonant
symbol.
e.g. க + க → க்க
5 After putting a pulli automatically, this feature of automatic putting of pulli will be disabled temporarily for one
stroke. That is, when the same consonant symbol is typed three times continuously one after another, then the first
consonants symbol alone gets the pulli automatically, and the second consonant symbol does not get a pulli, since
when the third consonant symbol is typed the automatic pulli feature is temporarily disabled. This feature will be
restored immediately after that.
e.g. க + க + க → க்கக
க + க + க + க → க்கக்க
6 When the first vowel அ is typed after a consonant symbol, it simply confirms that the previous stroke is an
akarameria uirmei. This disables temporarily the combining of any other stroke with the previous stroke. Hence
typing any vowel will not join with the previous consonant symbol. Similarly the automatic pulli feature will also be
disabled just for the next stroke. This automatic pulli feature gets restored immediately after the next stroke. The
Vowel அ works as the delinking symbol.
e.g. க + அ + இ → க இ
க + அ + க → கக
க + அ + க + க → கக்க
7 The same behaviour is also seen when a soft consonant symbol is followed by the corresponding hard consonant
symbol. (ங,க), (ஞ,ச), (ந,த), (ண,ட), (ம,ப), (ன,ற) are the soft and hard consonants pairs
e.g. ங + க → ங்க
ந + த + த → ந்தத
ந + த + த + த → ந்தத்த
ந + அ + த → நத
ந + அ + த + த → நத்த
