The PNG suffix **-aṇ** is added in free form in two variants of the word (**1.2.c** & **2.2.c**). Such 'analytical' writing is a characteristic feature of the Early Ta. Br. inscriptions and does not represent 'alphabetic' writing with separation of consonants and vowels. See section 6.18 on 'analytical' writing.
