^{page 1060 note 1} appears to be the old way of writing, and not nra as in Judson.

^{page 1061 note 1} These references are to a correspondence that has passed between us on the subject.

^{page 1061 note 2} If, as in the Po-u-doung inscription, there were two forms for ∞ y subscript, viz. and , there can therefore be no reason why there should not be two forms for r subscript, viz. and ∞. But I think the fact that in line 5 we have and in line 35 proves the case, and shows how careless the masons were with their spelling. Those who have known anything about Burmese writing, even in the past fifty years, know what Burmans could do. The derivation of the word kyé-zoo has always been a puzzle.
