Edition & evidence
This is the corrected August working catalogue, not a final physical bibliography. Later September re-readings are presented separately in the GSS research dossier. Dating candidates, locations, interpretations, and unresolved readings are preserved as distinct evidence layers.
The English commentary accompanies the preserved Chinese record. Quoted historical wording and unidentified characters are retained; candidate readings remain provisional.

Analysis in the August edition
Its contents and order match A42 while character correspondences differ. This is the clearest example of differential synchronization: the framework persists while local reading and writing solutions change.
Evidence limits and unresolved readings
Large Chinese characters and small Nôm characters gloss each other. Retain the recorded examples and pronunciations; similar character shapes do not establish a direction of transmission.

都三千一句: 阮文笔，成泰十八岁次丙午年建夏季五月十五日；这是一本三千字书，古代的多文字互训（训诂）字典，汉字为大字，对应的小字是喃字或用一竖代表无对应字；这是我们如此解释的历程: 潮汕的十五音韵书对少量汉字有这样的注释（不过是汉字解释汉字）；这是一些对照的例子: 𡶀 núi 解释山、滝 sông 解释河、𣷷（𤅶）biển 解释滨；「並」用 đều 解释，假借为汉字「条」；「不」右下方是「空」字，现代越南语用汉语词「空」không 表示否定；「鉄」右下角是 sắt｛鐵/铁｝的喃字；越南语表示｛东，east｝就用汉越词「東」；用「戈」记录 qua｛越过，逾｝看来是某种古已有之，京族三岛的 bài hát（排喝）有一首《Qua Cầu Gió Bay（过桥风吹）》也用了「戈」记录 qua。如果解释不了的，就会变成组词:震字的旁边写的是卦，合起来就是震卦；诚字旁是信，合为诚信
