Palm-leaf Terminian is an adaptation of the Imperial Letsatian script to palm and banana leaves, the predominant writing system of southern Soltenna in the 8th through 4th centuries BCE.
The Old Tekaunye syllabary is descended from palm-leaf Terminian, although the phonetic values are not derived directly from the phonetic values of palm-leaf Terminian, nor are the glyphs. It is most likely that the Old Tekaunye syllabary was invented by a scribe, or multiple scribes, who was familiar with the appearance of palm-leaf Terminian script, but not literate in it, and possibly not literate in any alphabetic script.
