It separates one sentence from the next.
The Ahom script writes Tai Ahom in northeast India. It may have come to Assam with the Ahoms from Mau Long, in present-day Yunnan. The oldest surviving text is the Snake Pillar inscription from King Siuw Hum Miung’s reign (1497–1539); other records include coins, brass plates, and bark manuscripts. Spoken Ahom declined after the late 17th century, but priests kept religious use through the 19th century; revival was underway by 1920.
