Ra (kana)

ら, in hiragana, or ラ in katakana, is one of the Japanese kana, which each represent one mora. Both versions are written with two strokes and have origins in the character 良; both characters represent the sound [ɾa] (listen). The Ainu language uses a small katakana ㇻ to represent a final r sound after an a sound (アㇻ ar).

gollark: Also quite hard to do well, but better.
gollark: It is annoying that networking is so overly dependent on central towers and such even though mesh networking would be more efficient and reliable.

gollark: Speed cameras work by detecting your car via reflected visible light photons. I don't think they can detect high-energy gamma rays. If you go fast enough, something something doppler effect and you will no longer be visible to it.
gollark: To escape speeding tickets, it's also worth accelerating to relativistic velocities.
