The initial vowel follows. There is a tendency to separate the different categories in this list by not apply. ing sandhi, and by using a punctuation mark (a dot or short upright line).
• Vaschala is an improbable name. The second akshara remains doubtful. And, but for the fact that avritti is always read in Sěna plates the name of an administrative division of land I should have read the last three akshara as ci-fitty.
