Notes
^† The two transliterations given for the Korean numerals are based on the Revised Romanization of Korean and the older McCune–Reischauer romanization, respectively.
^‡ As with Japanese and Vietnamese, Korean uses two different numbering systems, one based on native vocabulary and one based on a Sino-Xenic numbering system (Sino-Korean). In modern Korean, the latter system is more commonly used. See previous note for transliteration information. Note also North-South differences in the Korean language.

    “When you’re lying awake with a dismal headache, and repose is

    I conceive you may use any language you choose to indulge in without impropriety;”
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    “Lovers of painting and lovers of music are people who openly display their preference like a delectable ailment that isolates them and makes them proud.”
    —Maurice Blanchot (b. 1907)
