RE: Lateralised Chinese characters

["Anders, Claus" <Claus.Anders@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I think about it ... (non seriously of course), I' d translate it to
EVA "qo"
q=4 horizontal strokes (as r give to hor. strokes)
o     open square
       thus the hanzi for language (yû, yù) could be translated to:qorino.
Our gallows could be more complex stroke combinations.
As there just a few basic strokes in Chinese Ideogrphs, who can have some
VMS chars as combination symbols, thus resulting in not so long tokens (yû,
yù) has 14 strokes. Maybe someone knows the  mean stroke count of the most
commeon Hanzis?
Not serious, but supporting the Chinese theory from start (without knowing
there is one)

	No, yin1 (sound) is: dian3, heng2, dian3, dian3, heng2, shu4,
heng2-zhe2,
	heng2, heng2

	The nasty one is yan2 "word" (as in wen2yan2 and yu3yan2):

	dian2, heng2, heng2, heng2, shu4, heng2-zhe2, heng2

	Seems like the Voynich words are far, far too short.

	Still, it was, is, a wonderful idea.
