《大祭风·超度董族的吊死者·卷首》字符体系研究

On Writing System in Preface of Wind Sacrifice

哥巴文是一种音节文字,它的经书数量很少且分布地域较窄。我们通过编制《大祭风·超度董族的吊死者·卷首》这本纯哥巴文经典的字表,进行了个案字符体系的研究,同时也初步探讨了这本经书中异体字和同形字的特点。通过研究可以看出哥巴文还是一种处于初级阶段的音字,它是在表词文字东巴文的基础上由于客观的需求而演变出来的。它的同形字和异体字很多,但也已经开始走上规范的道路。

The Geba writing is a syllable system, whose number of classics is small and its distribution is narrow. This paper tries to do a case study on the character system so as to discuss the characteristics of variant and homomorphism words and to further understand the Geba writing by making a word list in the preface of Wind Sacrifice. Through the research, the Geba writing can be found still sounding words at an early stage, which has evolved from the Dongba writing due to objective needs. There are still many homomorph and variant words, which begin to be standardized.
