| Summary: | The existence of literacy implies a range of practical questions about
writing. While attention has been given to the form of Bugis writing, there
are also issues around the mechanics of writing, that is, the ways in which
marks have been made on various surfaces. Bugis literacy, which began

earthenware are also discussed and illustrated. The relationship between
medium and the function of writing is explored in particular cases. |
