The English word “many” means, as an adjective, “consisting of or amounting to a large but indefinite number.”[1]

The Korean translation is “많이”, or “manh-e”.

These two similar-meaning, similar-sounding words are the basis for this exploration of combining letterforms from different alphabetic systems to create many different random compositions.
