The Huá-yí-yì-yǔ (華夷譯語) is a general name for the various wordbooks between the Chinese language and its neighboring languages compiled from the beginning of the Ming (明) dynasty (1368~1644). It has broadly 4 different classes. In the wordbooks of the third class the words of each foreign language were transliterated only in Chinese characters and the letters of the language in question were not used.
To this third class belongs the manuscript in the collection of the library of Seoul National University. Its seventh volume is for the Uighur language. It contains 19 categories. Its ninth category is 身體門 shēntǐmén ‘the category of human body’ with 20 entries, which will be treated in this paper.
