Rebha (रेभ) (Prakrit; in Sanskrit: Repha) refers to a “snarl” (i.e., the letter “r”), as occurring in the Anekāntajayapatākā-prakaraṇa, a Śvetāmbara Jain philosophical work written by Haribhadra Sūri.—[Cf. Vol. I, P. 155, l. 22]—‘Repha’ (P. ‘Rebha’) means a snarl. It stands for ‘r’. Letters other than this are named with ‘kāra’ affixed to them in Sanskrit e.g. ‘sakāra’. But such is not the case with this letter.
