Khitan small script
"[3] While small-script inscriptions employed some logograms as well, most words in small script were made using a blocked system reminiscent of the later Hangul writing of Korea, meaning that a word is represented by one group (square block) composed of several glyphs with individual phonetic meanings (somewhat similar to the jamo units of Hangul).Unlike Hangul's jamo, a Khitan phonetic symbol could represent not just a single vowel or consonant, but a consonant-vowel or vowel-consonant pair as well.For example, the Chinese character for 'mountain' (山) is the same as the Khitan small script logogram for 'gold' (𘮝), and, thus, the name of the Jin dynasty.[7]) Small script uses a mixture of logograms, syllabograms, and, as some as sources claim, a few single sound phonograms.Sometimes the initial consonants of syllables are indicated to be dental, labial, guttural, or nasal etc., based on the syllabograms involved.
