Dictionary of Mong Njua and the Graphical Law

Author : Anindya Kumar Biswas

Abstract :

We study the head entries of Dictionary of Mong Njua by Thomas Amis Lyman. We draw the natural logarithm of the number of head entries, normalised, starting with a letter vs the natural logarithm of the rank of the letter, normalised. We conclude that the Dictionary can be characterised by BP(4, βH=0), i.e. the magnetisation curve in the Bethe-Peierls approximation of the Ising Model, in the presence of four nearest neighbours and in the absence of external magnetic field, H, with βH= 0. β is 1/kgT  where, T is temperature and   is the tiny Boltzmann constant.
