Wiktionary:Requested entries (Chinese)

Definition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Jump to: navigation, search

Have an entry request? Add it to the list. - But please:

  • Think twice before adding long lists of words as they may be ignored.
  • If possible provide context, usage, field of relevance, etc.

Please remove entries from this list once they have been written (i.e., the link is “live”, shown in blue, and has a section for the correct language)

There are a few things you can do to help:

  • For words which are listed here only in their romanized form, please add the correct form in Chinese script.
  • Don’t delete words just because you don’t know them — it may be that they are used only in certain contexts or are archaic or obsolete.
  • Don’t simply replace words with what you believe is the correct form. The form here may be rare or regional. Instead add the standard form and comment that the requested form seems to be an error in your experience.

  • 䠠 occurs in 須䠠 a transcription of sudr̥śa in Sanskrit. I think the reading is ci2, but I am not sure and what I really want to know is the GSR number and fanqie or six character reading. Tibetologist 13:39, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Chinese character Cheng.svg, an old variant of 骋/騁 (chĕng) (v.) – (of a horse) gallop; hasten, hurry. Appears on KangXi, page 1439, under character 28; and also on page 1447, under character 20. It may be useful to include this entry as it is referred to at "w:Naming laws in the People's Republic of China#Ma Cheng". — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 14:12, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
How can you add an entry that isn't even in unicode? Apart from mentioning it as a variant in the chěng entries I mean. Tooironic 10:24, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

  • küen "scroll", kuin "to roll up; a scroll; a book", citing "This sign was read as kiuan before the Han dynasty (221 BC-220 AD), which was changed to kui between 220 and 589. In the first Chinese dictionary (around 100) it meant “to bend the knee” and represented a sitting figure."

"which was changed to kui between 220 and 589" - This is incorrect. The character you were looking for is 卷:

  • (quán, Old Chinese *gron (Zhengzhang Shangfang), "(of knees) to bend, to curl")
  • (juăn, OC *kronʔ, "to roll up"), also written as 捲
  • (juàn, OC *krons, "a scroll > books, volumes") - a late derivation, probably no earlier than 200 AD

In Shuowen (~ 100 AD), the definition for 卷 (image) was: "厀曲也。从卪𠔉[𨤑]聲。" (Bending of knees. Phono(𠔉)-semantic(卪).)

They are obviously part of the Old Chinese word family *Gron ("to bend, to curl > round, circle"), possibly a derivation from the root *Gon ("to surround > round"), which was extremely productive (cf. 拳, 蜷, 圈, 弮, 環, 圓, 彎, 圜). This has been proposed to be the source of Proto-Slavic *kъniga ("book"). I think it's unlikely.

Incidentally, Proto-Indo-European also has *kroC- ("to be bent") (horn ("that which is bent", PIE *k̑r̥nom, OC: 角 *kroːg), hook, curve, corner, crook, crotch, curl, crimp, cringe, crinkle, cripple, crisp, crochet, crouch).
