Pronunciation[edit]

@Justinrleung, Suzukaze-c {{subst:zh-new}} would automatically generate a Cantonese pronunciation for this entry. May I ask, is this word used in Cantonese? Dokurrat (talk) 04:47, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Dokurrat: Not usually, but it would be fine to have a Cantonese pronunciation for it since it could be considered 書面話. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 05:43, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Justinrleung: Wouldn't 書面話 for this concept be something like 雄驢? I think 叫驢 is used colloquially in dialectal Mandarin. Dokurrat (talk) 05:57, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Dokurrat: While colloquial, I think it's in many written works, so Hongkongers would still read it in Cantonese. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 05:58, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
