The Early Vaṭṭeḻuttu inscriptions included in the present Corpus (Nos. *101-121*) are mostly recent discoveries which illustrate the evolution of the script during the transitional period (5-6 centuries a.d.). The evolution of each letter from the Late Tamil-Brāhmī to the Early Vaṭṭeḻuttu forms found in these inscriptions has been studied above (Palaeographic Charts 4 to 6).
