c12.s5.2

(i) The letter *ka* consists of a simple cross. Occasionally the vertical line is lengthened, as in the Mysore inscriptions, Erragudi R.E., and Rummindei M.P.I. But in these cases, except at Erragudi, all the letters have longer verticals. At Siddhapur alone the horizontal line is inclined on the left. Bühler's 'dagger-shaped *ka*' is not traceable. That was the result of a new technique (see Chapter 5).
