Talk:沙

Another definition?

Can this also mean "paste," as in 豆沙? 69.81.157.133 11:05, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

The root meaning of 沙 is "sand" or "gravel." In some compound words, it can figuratively refer to anything that has been mashed or ground into paste, such as 豆沙 (mashed up beans). -- A-cai 07:23, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Vietnamese form should probably be "sa"

I think "sa" is better than "vành" for this reading. See http://www.viethoc.org/phorum/read.php?14,18824,page=2 for discussion about this. That site suggests that "vành" is a Chu Nom reading. Unfortunately I don't know how to prove my point. Should I go ahead and change the reading anyway? Daew00t 19:03, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I wonder where someone got vành? The references I looked at all give variations on "sa." 24.93.190.134 05:22, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Teochew (sense 12)

@Justinrleung, Fish bowl I hear sua(55) in the video(3:59 and 4:10), which is probably the sua3 on p. 1078 of 潮普双言语词典 and a cognate of Hokkien 煞 (suah) "竟然". RcAlex36 (talk) 07:55, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

@RcAlex36: Yes. I'm not sure where this should be "housed" though. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 23:28, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
