Bodman, > Thank you for your letter. I em glad to leern that you are going on with the linguistic work. I think that your plan to put the words on cards in order to be able to group them from various points of view 13 sound and might lead to good results. Inter alia, a lot of correct- ons and additions to my Word Families in Chinese could easily be made once the cards were available. (by the way: there I only treated words consisting of 3 parts: type K-a-n, leaving out entirely the large groups consisting of 2 parts, type K-a; madk could be done by a linguist in order to group the latter according to affinity). To arrange the cards according to English equivalents, however, seems unpractical, since there are so frightfully many synonyms or half-synonyms in English that you risk not to get the really connected words to stand together. - To find the earliest use of a certain character I had no short-cut: I arranged all the important and approximately databåe inscriptions in the chronological system expounded in BMFEA 8, and then I made my word excerpts, skerting with the earliest inseriptions and golng downy wards. It was a frightfully long and troublesome work, but it simply hed to be done, no Chinese scholar having ever attempted 1t.såten Bel .daT Thorssseomsotosartse an interest in purely "sprachliche" questions of archaic Chinese. A young sinologue Piet van deariLoon (lecturer in Cambridge, England) was with me here some ten days to discuss a treatment, in form of "Glosses" of the Kuo-yi text; a very promising undertaking.
