c26.s8.3

The Nekanurpatti inscription (No. *83*) with all the nine basic consonants in it marked by the *puḷḷi* is a good example of the Tamil-Brāhmī script with the TB-III notation. The brief Early Vaṭṭeḻuttu inscription (No. *102*) at Sittannavasal-B, in which the basic consonants as well as the short medial *-e* and *-o* are marked with the *puḷḷi*, illustrates the fully developed *puḷḷi* notation.
