either with the inherent vowel a (No. V, 1) or without it (No. Y, 2), as 
seen ( e.g .) in kesara fl. 18 5 for Sanskrit keyara, and in yakkar 11. 31 4 for 
Sanskrit yarkkara respectively. Attached to a consonant (No. V, 3), 
it lias vocalic power, as in vrka fl. 33 3 for Sanskrit vrka. 
No. VI, 1 probably expresses the cerebral 1 consonant with the 
inherent vowel a, as in pratipala fl. 34' 1 for Sanskrit pratibala, and No. 
VI, 2 expresses the same without the inherent vowel, as in pippal fl. 
21 4 for Sanskrit pippala. In the beginning of a word, No. VI, 1 may 
have vocalic power, as in Ittsaune fl. 9 2 . It occurs, in this way, in no 
Sanskritic word. 
The exact signification of the double dot, shown in Nos. VII, 1 
and VII, 2 is uncertain. It occurs only with the inherent vowel a, and 
would seem to indicate some modification of that vowel. A curious 
exception is its occurrence with the vowel-less palatal consonants n and c, 
as seen in the letter-groups jp^atsan fl. 38 5 , natatah fl. II 6 , ktsef) fl. 14 2 , 
pelklh fl. 32 3 , kauc fl. 14 r I have transcribed it with a double dot. 
With the exception of mancasta for Sanskrit manjistlia, it is found 
only in non-Sanskritic letter-groups. 
There are two forms of the short i vowel, shown in Nos. VIII, 1 
and VIII, 2, and seen (e.g.) in pippal fl. 4 F ' and pzppfil fl. 27 2 , both for 
Sanskrit pippala. By way of comparison the long i is shown in No. 
VIII, 3. The signification, if any, of the difference of the two forms 
is unknown. The high-pitched form of i (No. VIII, 2) occurs only 35 
times, divided almost equally between Sanskritic words and non- 
Sanskritic letter-groups. The fact that both forms are found indifferently 
in the same word (e.g., in pippal) seems to negative the suggestion of 
any significance. 
The numeral figures 1, 2, 3, which occur not unfrequently in the 
text, seem to subserve the purpose of interpunctuation rather than of 
indicating numbers or quantities. As a rule, they are placed after words 
of Sanskritic origin, and thus serve to indicate (or italicise) such words ; 
but they are occasionally found also in connection with non-Sanskritic 
letter-groups, see, e.g., fl. 4 4> E . 
The words, printed interlinearly in small type, represent the remains 
of writing which, in an inverted position, cross and overlie the large- 
print words in the line immediately above them. With the help of a 
mirror, a practised eye can recognize them without much difficulty.
