MAW NI - Dragon Pearls

The following may help in decoding The Ming on page 2 which is fon cheek that arrived at MAW NI as a title.
Source document below - note the boxed in area has two areas - the left is a pyramid of characters 1 - 2 - 4 - 8 characters in length. The right is a column of 4 characters (an index) which reads from top to bottom in the Ming translator (sun, salt, quicksilver, sulphur) .
At the bottom (sulphur level) is MING SING FA KHAW NGI SUH THAI DZI
In the middle (quicksilver level) is MOO FAW NAI THI
Next are the 2 characters MAW NI - the title of the book - which is about tangents (in projective geometry.)
And the summum bonum is MI which means PUZZLE .

That's an interesting question. I would guess not. CFR digested the essence of Mandarin, Cantonese & other dialects to produce a character and a transliteration which a modern Chinese person may not recognize. There are 38 pages to scan and cut up into individual characters (25 per page). There is also a slight difference between Silver Cradle - strict stroke rules for counting - and BC2 on how the characters are made. The numbers on the right side of the verses refer to some old dictionaries which I still have where the character is official. I don't know if they are useful in that regard. One is for the root & the other is the radical (modifyer).
