In Gurbani, it is a rule that if a word ends with the letter ‘ਹ’, and if there is a ‘Kana’ written before it, then it signifies the plural form. Such ‘ਹ’ gives a very light sound and is pronounced similarly to a ‘bindi’ over the previous Kana. For example:
The word ਖੇਤਾਂਹ is plural, derived from the word ਖੇਤ. When pronounced, the last ਹ gives a very light sound, blending with the Kana before it. Similarly:
Example | Pronunciation |
---|---|
ਸਹੇਲੜੀਆਹ | ਸਹੇਲੜੀਆਂਹ |
ਕੀਆਹ | ਕੀਆਂਹ |
ਅਸਾਹ | ਅਸਾਂਹ |
ਸਬਦਾਹ | ਸ਼ਬਦਾਂਹ |
ਸੰਤਾਹ | ਸੰਤਾਂਹ |
ਬੁਰੀਆਹ | ਬੁਰੀਆਂਹ |
ਚਿਟਵੀਆਹ | ਚਿਟਵੀਆਂਹ |
ਰਲੀਆਹ | ਰਲੀਆਂਹ |
