This paper studied the usefulness of 'Line marks of the proper nouns of Korean origin in the Hikun of the Shakunihongi' as a material to analyze tone marks of the proper nouns of Korean origin. First, the analysis showed that Line marks of Shakunihongi do not reflect the Middle Chinese sounds directly. Second, the analysis revealed that Jyosyo and Kyosyo tend to be marked to a mark. Next, in order to analyze the interference of the Japanese sounds, the tone of Japanese Kan-on and Go-on and the correspondence were studied. The result showed that Kyosyo of Japanese Go-on is marked to a point. This means that the tone of proper nouns of Korean origin in Shakunihongi were not influenced unilaterally by Japanese Kan-on and Go-on. Also, the line marks tended to be seen in Bokun monotone kanji. The line marks were found to be consciously distinguished from the Circle marks. There is a characteristic that Line marks of proper nouns of Korean origin in Shakunihongi are marked to Hyoso. This is the same tendency with Circle marks. That is why Line marks in Shakunihongi can also be used as a tone-mark material of proper nouns of Korean origin.

The term ton is widely used as the unit of the ship's size nowadays. Before people accepted the term ton as the unit of the ship's size, the various terms had been used for indicating the ship's size. For examples, the term ton was used in Western Europe, last in Northern Europe, cantara in Geneva, milliaria in Venice, and carra in Naple. In Asia the rice had been the most important cargo for many centuries. So the term SEOK in Korean or SHI in Chinese was used as the unit of the ship's size. Especially the Chinese used the term LIAO or RYO in Korean for indicating the ship's size. As above seen, the different terms had been used for showing the ship's size from places to places. But with the introduction of Moorsom's Tonnage Measurement in the 19th century and its spread to all over the world, the term ton was become the only unit of ship's size.
