Which tones it gives
A live syllable with no mark gets the mid tone. A dead one gets the high tone with a short vowel and the falling tone with a long one. Marks: ◌่ → falling, ◌้ → high.
Kai says
ฌ is named after เฌอ, chəə, an old word for tree. In everyday Thai a tree has long been ต้นไม้, dtôn-mái.
