[The existence of visarga as a phonetic reality has been both accepted and denied. Evidence in the Prātiśākhyas points to the phonetic existence of several spirants written ḥ . These spirants, jihvāmūlīya and upadhmānīya , are shown to be allophones of visarga , which in turn is interpreted as a subclass of the s phoneme.]
