Scholars,
Help, kindly.
What is the phonetic description of the Sanskrit varnamala's  last consonant /ह् / (ह with the halant, that is, from the full- fledged  ह, the constituent vowel अ is killed). When I try to pronounce ह् , I feel it is a glottal fricative. I can not decide whether what i pronounce is voiced or unvoiced.
Submitted with regards.
