縣

Rfv-sense: Agata (a Japanese surname). — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 21:48, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Interesting. It is a Japanese surname, as listed also in Jim Breen's ENAMDICT: http://nihongo.monash.edu/cgi-bin/wwwjdic?2MUJ%E7%B8%A3

The agata reading is also a common noun with a sense similar to county, as in, an administrative subdivision larger than a municipality but smaller than a province or prefecture. I think this sense might not be in common currency in modern Japanese.

I have nothing particular to say about usage in Chinese, however, other than to note that it seems a simple enough matter that someone with the Japanese surname of 縣 (Agata) might be mentioned in Chinese text without changing the spelling. Would this merit lexicalization? I don't know. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 22:14, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Eirikr: Thanks. I know you know, but I'll just clarify for those who don't that this is an RFV for Chinese only. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 22:19, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
