*-ū*: The medial *-ū* sign remains stable in Tamil-Brāhmī (Chart 6: *-ū*), the only notable exception being the cursive twin strokes at Ammankoyilpatti (ibid. *84*) influenced by Southern Brāhmī. In Early Vaṭṭeḻuttu, the twin strokes tend to join together in an angular form as in *nū*, *yū* and *vū* at Pulankurichi (Chart 8).
