I've given the consonant {ka.} क and vowel {ou} औ [note {ou} is present in Mon-Myan: not in Bur-Myan]
{ka.} क {ou} औ
Now you see how easy it is to write Myanmar akshara compared to Devanagari.

UKT notes

Doggie's Tale

-- UKT 130613 : Frequently used diacritics: ā ī ū ṁ ṇ ṛ ś ṣ ṭ

Mnemonic The Doggie Tale:
Little doggie cringe in fear -- ŋ (velar),
Seeing Ella's flapping ears -- ɲ (palatal)
And, the Shepard's hanging rear -- ɳ (retroflex).
Doggie so sad he can't get it out
What's that Kasha क्ष when there's a Kha ख ?
And when there's Jana ज्ञ what I am to do with Jha झ?
On top of all there're husher and hisser, Sha श /ʃ/ and Ssa ष /s/,
when I am stuck with Theta स /θ/ !"
Little Doggie don't be sad,
You are no worse than a Celtic Gnome
Losing G in his name, he is just a Nome!
