[Tel.] The consonant V or W. As with h in English, v in Telugu is sometimes added in places where it does not occur, and dropped in places where it does occur by incorrect speakers or writers; e.g., ollu is often pronounced and written vallu and uru, vuru; while words like verri and veccamu are pronounced and written erri and eccamu. The initial V is also frequently changed into a vowel or a Y by vulgar speakers: e.g., epa or yepa for vepa. etti or yetti for vetti.
\nThe initial P (in verse) is sometimes changed into V; thus voye (voye) for poye (poye) he went; vape (vape) for pape (pape) he removed.
\nSometimes the initial V changes into B, as bale for vale ‘like.’ “dipankurapanktulambale.” Bhanumat. iv. 142. This change is caused by the preceding sunna:
\nSometimes in the second syllable G changes into V; as pagadamu, pavadamu.
\nIn prosody va stands for vaganamu an iambic; more usually written lagamu. And in poems va stands for vacanamu prose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
