Amharic Fidel Fact Three:

All the Amharic letters except “ሪ ri, ዪ yi, and ፊ fi” in the third row have a right-pointing suffix on their right leg. For example: ሂ hi፣ ሊ Li፣ ሚ, ሲ Si etc. This suffix makes the Amharic letter read as “i.”

Fact four:

The letters with two or more legs, such as “ሓ/ ha, ላ / la, ሳ/ sa, ባ /ba” in the fourth row, have the shortest leg on the left. That is why they are pronounced as “a”. You can look at them now.

Fact five:

All the Amharic letters in the fifth row have a ring on their right leg. This makes them read as “ie”. For example: ሄ Hie, ሌ Lie, ሜ Mie, ሤ, ሴ, Sie

Fact Six:

But the Amharic Fidels in the sixth row are consonant letters. So we need to read them like “ህ H, ል L, ም M, ስ S, ር R”. For example, “ምስር / MSR, which means “lentil,” and “ስድስት / SDST,” which means “six.” If we add another vowel to these letters, their shape, sound, and meaning will change. The remaining 6 Fidels are vowel letters. They change their shape and sound due to the addition of vowel letters. (አ, ኡ, ኢ, ኣ, ኤ, ኦ, (a u i a ie o)

Fact Seven:

The letters in the seventh row, such as “ሆ / ho, ሎ/ lo, ሮ / ro, ኖ / no,” have a ring on the right. Two-legged letters like “ሶ / so, ቦ / bo, ሾ / sho” have the shortest leg on the right. And those with one leg like Fidel, ቆ / Qo, ቾ / Cho, ቶ / To have a ring mark on their head. But they are all pronounced as “o”.
