1 Attention may be called to a slight misunderstanding on p. 198, where it is stated that the letter b is often substituted for v, and the mode of writing itself reveals its lateness, for in nāgarī script b is only a v furnished with a diacritic mark. As a matter of fact, the older scripts, both Brāhmī and Kharōṣṭhī, have entirely different characters for b and v, and so have the Southern alphabets.
