@Wyang Can this page be moved/deleted to prevent future editors from mistakenly adding {zh-pron|mc=y} to ?

The content of this page is same as Module:zh/data/ltc-pron/岡 KevinUp (talk) 18:40, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure whether the readings can be assigned to Pronunciation 1 or Pronunciation 3 of . The old and middle Chinese readings were there in a previous edit [1] but has since been removed. Please advise on the matter thank you. KevinUp (talk) 18:48, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
After referring to Moedict.tw and 通用規范漢字字典, seems like the pronunciation gāng is still valid and used in 花崗石花岗石 (huāgāngshí) and 花崗岩花岗岩 (huāgāngyán). I also added more compounds under the pronunciation gǎng based on Moedict.tw (兩岸萌典) [2] KevinUp (talk) 19:52, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@KevinUp Thanks, I've deleted the module page. These two characters are a bit of a mess... 岡 (gang1) is recommended over 崗 (gang1), yet 花崗石 and 花崗岩 exist in the dictionaries. I don't think Pronunciations 1 and 3 should be split though- maybe Pronunciation 1 should be expanded to include a usage note to cover the content in Pronunciation 3. @Justinrleung Any suggestions?

@Wyang: I don't see why gàng shouldn't be split. It looks fine to me. What I don't really understand is where gǎng came from. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 01:25, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, Pronunciations 1 and 2 of Etymology 2 it should be. Etymology 1 and Etymology 2's Pronunciations 1 and 2 are actually the same etymology. Wyang (talk) 01:28, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Wyang: Ah, I figured. All the dictionaries I checked have the same problem of saying that 崗 (gāng) is a variant form of 岡, but also include 花崗石/花崗岩 as the main form. They don't seem to mention 花崗石/花崗岩 at 崗 though. We can probably do something like this for pronunciation 2:

I support this format. This is what I had in mind too. Wyang (talk) 02:01, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Wyang: I've made the change. Does it look good to you? — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 02:18, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, looks much better. Thanks! Wyang (talk) 02:20, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
