新见西夏文偏旁部首和草书刻本文献考释

On Strokes,Radicals and Cursive Script in a Newly-discovered Block-printed Tangut Documents

新发现的西夏文刻本文献中有两页是西夏文偏旁部首并带有草书字。其中所谓"三十字母"为西夏文点、横、竖、撇、折等基本笔画,是作者意图找出西夏文字最原始结构的一次新的尝试。文献对西夏文字偏旁的分析与西夏文韵书《文海》对文字构造的分析有相同的部分,也有明显的差异。

A newly-discovered block-printed Tangut document includes two pages with Tangut strokes, radicals and cursive scripts. The so-called ＂thirty letters＂ are basic strokes in Tangut writing, viz. the dot stroke, the horizontal stroke, the vertical stroke, the left-falling stroke and the turning stroke, which represents the author＇s attempt to decipher the original structure of the Tangut writing. In terms of the analysis on the Tangut radicals and character structure, the newly-discovered document shows identical parts but also apparent differences from what is represented in Wenhai 文海, the Tangut rhyme dictionary.
