The consonant *-l-* is doubled in one case but not in the other, proving that long consonants existed in the language and the avoidance of doubled consonants in writing is only an orthographic feature, influenced by Pkt. inscriptional orthography. Cf. *koṟi* / *koṟṟi* (65.4.b & 66.4.b). See section 6.17.
