On a separate thread, I searched for English words and sentences with which one can turn the message upside down, hold it in front of a mirror, and see that the message is the same:

This can be done with all letters in which the top half is a mirror image of the bottom half. In English, this will be B, C, D, E, H, I, K, O, W, and X.
Now I am trying to do the same thing in Korean. So our tools will be ��, ��, ��, ��, ��, ��, ��, ��, ��, ��, ��, ��, ��, and ��.
There is no problem in finding nouns:
�ٴٹ�, �̹�, ��, ����, �Ǹ�, ��, ��, ��, ��, Ƽ, ��, ��, ��, �ƾ�, ��, �Ƹ�,
�۸� (permanent), ���Ƽ (DDT), �ǵ��� (PDA), ��Ƽ (ET), Ƽ�� (teepee), ��Ƽ���� (PTA), ������ (AP)
or verbs:
�̴�, ���, �̴�, �Ĵ�, ����, ����, Ÿ��, ��, ���, ����, ����
Finding words is easy enough, but making sentences is another story.
All I need is a postposition for the nouns.
All of these nouns end in vowel sounds, so I can't use -��.
-�� and -�� don't fit in the mirror trick, so I can't use them either.
Using the nouns as objects might not be possible either.
-�� looks like it fits in the mirror trick, but it doesn't.
Can anyone help me? |
