In what way does 鑉 mean "glucinum (obsolete name of beryllium)"? Is 鑉 an obsolete synonym of 鈹, i.e. could it be defined as "(obsolete) beryllium"? Or does it somehow mean specifically "glucinum"? - -sche (discuss) 18:03, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
- Maybe the character was originally a translation of glucinum, but became obsolete along with glucinum. —suzukaze (t・c) 18:34, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
- I'm sceptical that such a sense would be "translingual", even in the idiosyncratic sense we use that term in relative to "Chinese" characters; it would seem like such a definition would belong only to the Chinese term. - -sche (discuss) 18:50, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
- Definitely. AFAIK, the current norm for Han characters is to remove definitions under translingual sections and place them appropriately into specific languages. — justin(r)leung { (t...) | c=› } 19:50, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
- I've attempted to clean it up. Please check to see if it's sufficient. — justin(r)leung { (t...) | c=› } 20:18, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
