ไม้เอก

Noun

 * 1)  "mai ek", Thai first tone marker, low tone marker ่|◌่

Usage notes

 * In modern Thai syllables with low class initial consonant and mai ek become falling, mid class and high class - low. E.g., อ is a mid class consonant (silent), so mai ek makes the syllable pronounced with the low tone (indicated by the grave accent in the transliteration).
