It describes the characterization of the ductus. Already found in sixteenth century manuscripts, when an influence of Latin Portuguese style of writing is probable, this kind of script developed in the nineteenth century, mainly as a result of the isolation of the Syro-Malabar communities with regard to the mainstream Syriac tradition.
