契丹小字几个常用原字读音研究

A Research on Pronunciations of Some Common Original Characters of Khitan Small Script

契丹小字金石资料中,有些常用原字,既不见于汉语借词,也不见于已释读契丹语词中,研究者们对其提出了种种读法,但都未能得到证实。幸而新近发现的契丹人名中这些原字陆续出现,为拟定其读音提供了可靠的线索。

Since some common original characters on bronzes and stone tablets are not seen in both Chinese loanwords and Khitan words deciphered, researchers present their own views on their pronunciations. However, all of them remain to be confirmed. Fortunately, in resent time those original characters are successively seen in some Khitan words person names. Undoubtedly, it can be a reliable clue for drawing up pronunciations of those original characters.
