This Ms. has interesting features as concerns orthography.

1. The use of 'a in snang'a, 'gyur'a

2. The dot regularly before the affix 'i, pad ma 'i &c. This 'i is often the prosodic value of a syllable: 618 in such cases prefers yi.

3. The ta is quite distinct from da; a rare and happy feature: ba is also distinct from pa.
