I have just begun to learn the alphabet and am already confused by what
appears to be a contradiction in the sound of the first gutteral. From
previous study I had learned that that letter was "ka," but in Joe
Wilson's Translating Buddhism from Tibetan the first gutteral is
indicated as "ga."

Any clarification of this apparent discrepancy would be greatly
appreciated.



Thank you,

David Gordon
