Drop initial with vowel-signs alone may be a practice in the past. The last image is from the book 'Tambiran Vanakkam', which is the first book printed in an Indian script. I am not sure if they mistakenly saw the vowel signs as stand-alone letters as I believe this book was not printed by native speakers. The typeface used in this book was made based on inscriptions in palm-leaf manuscripts, which certainly did not use drop-caps. It will be interesting to see if later prints continued the practice of drop initials with vowel-signs alone. -- GitHub Notification of comment by murasu Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/iip/issues/56#issuecomment-569422895 using your GitHub account
