- 而以其不可以文字寫之，故惟樂人輩口相授受，或傳以國書而已。 [Korean Literary Sinitic, trad.]
  From: 《西浦漫筆》 by Kim Manjung, late 1600s
  이이기불가이문자사지^(라) 고^(로) 유악인배구상수수^(하며) 혹전이국서이이^(하니라)
  I i gi bulga i munja sa ji[-ra], go[-ro] yu agin bae gu sang susu[-hamyeo], hok jeon i gukseo ii[-hanira]. [Sino-Korean]
  But due to them being unable to be transcribed in [Chinese] characters, only groups of musicians pass them down mouth-to-mouth, or some people transmit them using the Korean alphabet, and that is all.
