Geba is a
syllabic script for the
Naxi language. It is called ¹Ggo¹baw in Naxi, adapted as Geba, 哥巴, in Chinese. Some glyphs resemble the
Yi script, and some appear to be adaptations of
Chinese characters. Geba is used only to transcribe
mantras, and there are few texts, though it is sometimes used to annotate
dongba pictographs.
Geba's phonetics can vary depending on who is using it. Symbols do not have fixed phonetic values, and they may have the same phonetic values as well.
