止韵符,去声符

A diacritical mark used in Indic scripts to suppress an inherent vowel (e.g., the Hindi viram, the Bengali or Oriya hasanta) or render the entire syllable silent (e.g., the Burmese virama, the Khmer toandakhiat).

Examples :

"The killer in the Hindi word "स्वदेश" (svadeś) suppresses the inherent vowel sound, making it a word without a vowel ending. "
印地语单词“स्वदेश”(svadeś)中的止韵符抑制了固有的元音,使之成为一个没有元音结尾的词。
