For mid/high initials, ่ gives low and ้ falling. For low initials, ่ gives falling and ้ high. Thus ค่า and ข้า share a sound, even though their spellings and meanings differ. A sound-only question cannot tell those two spellings apart.
| Group | ่ | ้ |
|---|---|---|
| Mid / high | Low | Falling |
| Low | Falling | High |
Listen to คา, ค่า and ค้า. Then compare rising ขา and low ข่า. Work through the initial group and mark after hearing the word. ๊ and ๋ normally occur with mid-class initials.
