c12.s5.28

(xxvii and xxviii) Both the letters *la* and *ha* are formed in the same way, with the only difference that the one is the exact reverse of the other (Fig. 5. V). Cursive forms of *la* can be seen in the Kalasi R.E., and of *ha* in the Delhi-Topra P.E. VII. The tick sometimes makes a little hook (see Dhauli and Jaugad R.E., Pl. IV*b* for *la*, and Erragudi R.E., Pl. IV*b* for *ha*). At Sarnath this tick is formed by a twist as shown in Fig. 5. V*b*.
