Re: Re: Can you decipher the marks?

Hi Dave & Rat,


the characters look to me like �P��, which are pronounced "yu" and "liu" in Chinese. The latter is "six", while the former has various meanings, including "sedan chair", "chariot", "to contain", "the earth" and "the people", among others.

The two characters appear to form some Japanese names, but I defer to our Japanese speakers to find plausible transcriptions.

Best regards,

Bill H.
