    Pronunciation of consonants

    Consonants are pronounced in association with any of the vowels, as they do not
    have independent pronunciations.
    For example, क् as it is, can’t be pronounced.
    Added with अ, क् + अ = क, read as ‘co’ in come.
    क् + इ = कि read as ‘ki’ in king
    क् + उ = कु read as ‘cu’ in cushion
    क् + ऐ = कै read as ‘ki’ in kite
