|head=Ch‘ien-t‘ang or Ch’ien-t’ang 1903 Book |
Added: |head=Ch‘ien-t‘ang|head2=Ch’ien-t’ang. Basis: I suspect these may be more than simple typographic variations and may constitute bona fide alternative forms worthy of separate entries. The difference between Ch’ien-t’ang and Ch'ien-t'ang is a mere typographic variation surely, but I feel that there may be an intentionality behind Ch‘ien-t‘ang (adherence to the early rules for the system) that makes it special enough to be mentioned separately here, at least, given the cites. |
