This post is brought to you by the letter: 31-dappa1

The thirty-first symbol of the Amharic alphabet is called DÄP’P'Ä and it sounds just like the previous symbol so you can use one or the other. I will only write one example.
The animations were made according to the instructions in the book Writing and Reading Amharic and the sounds are from the site Amharic Online. Phonetic symbols according to David Appleyard.
