Śawt

Śawt ሠ is a letter of the Ge'ez abugida, descended from Epigraphic South Arabian , in Ge'ez representing ś. It is reconstructed as descended from a Proto-Semitic voiceless lateral fricative *ś [ɬ], like the Welsh pronunciation of the ll in llwyd. It survived only in South Semitic as an independent phoneme.
