Subject:Help Translating Chop Marks
Posted By: Boz Sun, Aug 08, 2010 IP: 94.171.164.175
Can anyone help me with these chop marks I belive one may be the given name and one their family name.
If someone could translate them for me I would be grateful.

Hi Rat & Boz,
I think the second character in that first mark may be 'Du' which among other things means 'Specially favored by Heaven'. I'll have to sleep on the single character though.
Cheers,
Bill H.

funny I rejected that idea because of how the dot was transformed into a line, but I suspect you are right. interesting how characters get altered in different scripts.
