Śawt

Śawt ሠ is a letter of the Geʽez script, descended from Epigraphic South Arabian 14px, in Geʽez representing ś. It is reconstructed as descended from a Proto-Semitic voiceless lateral fricative , like the Welsh pronunciation of the ll in llwyd. It survived only in South Semitic as an independent phoneme.
