¹ The *puḷḷi* may also be regarded as a 'medial vowel sign' as it functions in effect as a 'minus vowel marker' removing the 'inherent' *-a* from consonant characters and reducing the length of the vowels *ē* and *ō*. See section 5.14 on the palaeographic aspects and sections 6.8 & 6.9 on the orthographic aspects of the *puḷḷi*.
