He came from the most western part of the Wa country. *It is necessary to distinguish carefully between the Han dynasty of China and the term "Han" as a designation of Korea. The ideographs composing this word were pronounced "I-to" at the time when they were written by the Hou-Han historians, but they subsequently received the sound of "Wo-nu" or "wa-do."
Accustomed for millennia to ideographs read only by experts, they viewed the current uproar about Literacy with unconcern. At the door, he deposited his pocket recorder no sound-recording device was permitted, except the big audio-visual camera in front, which made the single permanent record.
The markings were very faint and delicate, the slightest touch being enough to destroy them. To the untrained eye, they resembled ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics; to the archeologist, they meant that a brand-new system of ideographs had been found. Suddenly Jackson straightened up and looked about with a new interest.
Zimmern does not appear to be convinced by Jensen's arguments and regards the question as an open one. Jensen's method of disposing of Shuâlu, besides being open to serious objections, fails to account for the fact that Shuâlu is brought into association with various Babylonian terms and ideographs for the grave.

They were evidently painted by the bonze of the fane, for his slab of India ink was on a table nearby, as also the brushes for the ideographs. Sons expressed their filial duties in glittering excerpts from Confucius, carved and gilded on expansive boards, and the incense of the poor arose from the humble punksticks stuck in dishes of sand upon the floor.
On her clothes she wore the ideographs for 'Long Life and 'Happiness, and most of the presents she gave were emblematic of some good fortune. Her palace was decorated with great plates of apples, which by a play on words mean 'Peace, and with plates of peaches, which mean 'Longevity. On her person she wore charms, one of which she took from her neck and placed on the neck of Mrs.
The death that follows in his path is a violent one, and his destructive force is one that acts upon large masses rather than upon the individual. Hence, one of the most common ideographs used to express his name is that which signifies 'sword. War and pestilence are intimately associated in the mind of the Babylonians.
