Aḥ (अः).—Visarga called visarjanīya in ancient works and shown in writing by two dots, one below the other, exactly of the same size, like the pair of breasts of a maiden as jocularly larly expressed by Durgasiṃha. cf. अः (aḥ) (:) इति विसर्जनीयः । अकार इह उच्चार-णार्थः । कुमारीस्तनयुगाकृतिर्वर्णो विसजर्नीयसंज्ञो भवति (iti visarjanīyaḥ | akāra iha uccāra-ṇārthaḥ | kumārīstanayugākṛtirvarṇo visajarnīyasaṃjño bhavati) (दुर्गसिंह (durgasiṃha) on कातन्त्र (kātantra) I.1.16). विसर्ग (visarga) is always a dependent letter included among the Ayogavāha letters and it is looked upon as a vowel when it forms a part of the preceding vowel; while it is looked upon as a consonant when it is changed into the Jihvāmūlīya or the Upadhmānīya letter.
