The NGMCP descriptive catalogue search screen:
https://catalogue.ngmcp.uni-hamburg.de/content/search/ngmcpdocument.xed
 lists the following manuscript materials:

 bhūrjapattra, nilapattra, palm leaf, paper roll, tamsuk, thyāsaphu

1) Would most manuscripts written in these other materials also be in
Pracalit?

2) What are the materials*  tamsuk *and *thyāsaphu* . When I look online it
lists tamsuk as a "landgrant manuscript" not a material.
