***e* / *ē*:** The letter *e* in Tamil-Brāhmī is rather unusual for its multiple geometric forms which defy any chronological arrangement. The variants with oblong, triangular, circular, semicircular and other odd shapes are illustrated in Chart 4: *e* / *ē*. The Early Vaṭṭeḻuttu form is arch-shaped (ibid. ***121*** ), very similar to the later forms.⁵
