This estimation came from the fact :
  han labels of length N (==8)  have  reordered ACE lables of length 2.27*N
  and hangul labels have  2.17*N , while with bare AMC-ACE-Z , they have 3.1 * N.
  Reordered Greek  labels have 1.2*N for N>16.

hangul : han: Greek   = 2.17 : 2.27 : 1.2

 The amount of information in han/hangul  labels is proportional to the number of corresponding LDH characters in ACE labels?  Maybe false measure from
misconceptions because most han/hangul labels from  nouns or composite nouns.
 I won't use the term  "amount of carried information " from now on..
