ገ (ga)
The Ge'ez letter ገ is called ገመል (gamal). It represents a “voiced velar plosive”, which is like <g> in the English words gate, guard, and group.
Its shape ገ is derived from the epigraphic character: 𐩴. It correlates to the Arabic letter ج, the Syriac letter ܓ, and the Hebrew letter ג.
Ge’ez words starting with ገ include ገነት (gannat) "garden", ገዳም (gadām) "wilderness", and ግልፎ (gəlfo) "statue".
The derivative letter ጐ is labialized ገ, which is <gu> sound in the Spanish word agua. The derivative letter ጘ is used in modern languages to represent a "voiced velar nasal", which is the <ng> sound in the English words king and song.
