v2.c17.92
“Some peculiarities in spelling, the frequent use of single consonants for double ones, the use of short i and u for long ī and ū, and the occasional omission of the long ā (e. g. hemamtamase, no. v., Mahārajasya and masa, no. IXA), agree with the usage prevailing partly in all, partly some versions of Aśoka’s edicts and of other ancient inscriptions. They make it difficult to decide, whether some of the curious forms, to be discussed below, are due to negligence in spelling or to grammatical irregularities.” (Jaina inscriptions from Mathura, Ep. Ind. vol. I. p. 373, para 2).
