Javanese Script "ha" illustration by abisai

Aksara Nusantara ep.1 - Ha (aksara jawa)


ꦲ (ha), is a syllable in the Javanese script which represents the sound / ɦɔ / or / ɦa /. The letter can also represent a null consonant, in which it would be pronounced as / ɔ / or / a /. It is commonly transliterated to Latin as "ha" or "a" and sometimes as "ho" and "o".

In addition to the original meanings mentioned in the previous post, Javanese script has various interpretations of meanings. One of the famous is the meaning of ki Sarodjo published in the book Nawangsari written by Prof. Dr. Damardjati Supadjar who is a scientist, and professor at Gadjah Mada University and spiritual adviser of the Yogyakarta Sultanate Palace.

Here is the meaning of "ha"

Ha: Hana hurip wening Suci - the existence of life is the will of the Most Holy.

Thus this post, hopefully useful, and see you in the next post that will try to respond to the form of syllable "na".

Cheers!
