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.

Historical geography and its limits
The available record contains no place names suitable for reconstructing an administrative hierarchy. Provenance is not inferred from the style of the contents.
Textual features
Zhuang deities, mixed writing, talismans, and illustrations coexist. Some passages are described as ‘rather Nôm-like in their writing’.
Analysis in the August edition
For now, this entry is best coded under: Buluotuo · Muliujia · Ritual talismans · Hand-drawn illustrations · Candidate Nôm forms. Further analysis should first establish the location of inscriptions, ink colour and handwriting, and textual function, then compare independent materials. A single character form, state name, or divine name cannot establish provenance or the direction of transmission.
Evidence limits and unresolved readings
‘Rather Nôm-like’ is a candidate identification to test, not a completed identification of character form, pronunciation, and meaning.
