傈僳族竹书文字的异体字初探

A Preliminary Study of the Variants of the Lisu's Writing on Bamboo Slips

云南省傈僳族一位名叫哇忍波的多巴(即巫师)创制了一种自己本民族的文字,由于这种文字是刻划在竹片上的,所以被称为"竹书"。从文字类型来看,竹书是一种音节文字,多数音节的异体字有2个,个别音节的异体字可多达5个。所以,竹书是一种不太完备的音节文字。

A Dongba priest called Warenpo from the Lisu Nationality created the Lisu writing which is inscribed on bamboo slips and is a syllabic writing. Because there are usually only two variants in this writing system, occasionally five variants, this kind of writing is not a perfect one.
