Rô has an inherent vowel in it, which is ô, as in most other Assamese consonants. But, many a times, ô is to be replaced by another vowel or swôrôbôrnô. In such a case, the vowels change their forms.
As examples:
Given below are examples of words starting with ৰ.
When ৰ is added before another consonant to form a conjunct, ৰ turns into reph. In other words, reph indicates that there is a r sound before the letter it is used before.[4]
For example:
Examples of words are[3] আৰ্জন (arzon, which means 'gain'), কৰ্তা (korta, which means 'doer') etc.
When ৰ is added after another consonant, ৰ changes into rô-kar. In other words, rô-kar after a consonant means that there is a rô sound after it.[5]
For example:
Some consonants change their shape when rô-kar is added.[5]
