Excuse me please, but are you aware of any interesting transformations
or operations done in Korean, Japanese, Chinese minds or language
which is not found in English?  Or is much more hidden in English?

How does putting two pictograms together make a new word?
What committee determines the pictogram for a 'new' concept?
Does, for example [ TREE SHINE ] make some kind of sense to you?
Is there no pictogram "mathematics" already ?  
(What combines, in what order, rules, exceptions...)
