Pasangan

It's pasangan form ◌꧀ꦪ, is located on the bottom side of the previous syllable. The pasangan only occurs if a word is ended with a consonant, and the next word starts with 'y', for example ꦲꦤꦏ꧀ꦪꦸꦪꦸ - anak yuyu (little crab). If it is located between a consonant and a vocal, it didn't form a pasangan, instead it uses a special panjingan called a pengkal (), for example ꦲꦩ꧀ꦥꦾꦁ - ampyang (a kind of snack).

Murda

The letter ꦪ doesn't have a murda form.
