Pronunciation

@Justinrleung Is "gau2" a spelling pronunciation? Dokurrat (talk) 09:32, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

@Dokurrat: I'm not really sure. The only source I can find to back this reading up is Richard Ho's 粵音正讀字彙, which normally cites Guangyun or Jiyun. Interestingly, for this character, it doesn't cite any rime book, which is essentially against Richard Ho's ideology of upholding Guangyun as the basis for standardizing Cantonese pronunciation (see 粵語正音運動) :/ — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 01:07, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

@Justinrleung: Thanks. (1) I was just thinking that if it is a spelling pronuciation, maybe it would be useful to include this infomation in the entry, but I'm not sure about the necessary-ness of doing this. Judging from the situation, I guess it seems that I needn't to do so. (2) Hanyu Da Cidian didn't cite Guangyun either, I guess this usage is not recorded in Guangyun.

@Dokurrat: I see. I think it may also be because it's also called 秦糺, where 糺 is pronounced as gau2. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 01:21, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

@Justinrleung: Hmmm, maybe. But I guess only Richard Ho knows what he thinks. Dokurrat (talk) 01:28, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

@Dokurrat: Of course :) — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 01:31, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
