It is further quite possible that Brahmi 𑀉, u, is the element 𑀼 in the sign 𑀼𑀓 ; that Brahmi 𑀮 = u, which before the reversal of the script was probably 𑀮 may be from Proto-Indian 𑀮, (= wa). Again Proto-Indian 𑀭, may well be the ancestor of Brahmi 𑀭 = o, in spite of the apparent derivation of the Brahmi element 𑀭 from 𑀮 . And even if the later element were accepted as the origin of Brahmi 𑀭 , there would still remain the question whether Proto-Indian 𑀧 (which appears only in combination and never independently like 𑀧 , ) is not itself a modification, for purposes of combination, of the Proto-Indian 𑀧 .
