⟨2⟩ paṭimāO ⬦ paṭimāE N+vH • The inverted-s shape of the final akṣara is characteristic of the O. The ending -āO moreover makes better sense as a Nom. Pl. Fem. ending than -āE. — ⟨2⟩ catāri [1×]catāri N+vH • There appears to be a sign, consistent with a damaged ya or a nandyāvarta symbol, after catāri.
