Selection of Han dynasty paronomastic glosses

This is a digitized collection of the paronomastic glosses found in the appendix of W. South Coblin, A handbook of Eastern Han sound glosses, Hong Kong: Chinese univ. Press, 1983.

Whereas Coblin used the Old and Middle Chinese reconstructions of Li Fang-Kuei, this dataset uses the Late Han reconstructions of Axel Schuessler (Minimal Old Chinese and Later Han Chinese: A Companion to Grammata Serica Recensa, Honolulu: University of Hawai‘i Press, 2009).

The data set is incomplete, ending mid way through Xu Shen, and many characters were not found in Schuessler 2009.
