The Mangulam inscriptions (Nos. *1-6*) are typical examples of the Tamil-Brāhmī script with the TB-I notation. It is difficult to explain why a separate marker for the medial *-ā* was not evolved in this system as at Bhattiprolu. The ambiguity in this system was removed in the Bhattiprolu script with the invention of a separate marker for the medial *-ā* vowel.
