The Cēra inscriptions at Pugalur (Nos. *61* & *62*) are typical examples of the Tamil-Brāhmī script with the TB-II notation. The ambiguity in this system in distinguishing the basic consonant from the one with the 'inherent' *-a* was removed in the next stage (TB-III) with the invention of a marker (*puḷḷi*) for the basic consonant.
