Wiktionary:Requested entries (Chinese)
Have an entry request? Add it to the list – but please:
- Consider creating a citations page with your evidence that the word exists instead of simply listing it here
- Think twice before adding long lists of words as they may be ignored.
- If possible provide context, usage, field of relevance, etc.
- Check the Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion if you are unsure if it belongs in the dictionary.
- If the entry already exists, but seems incomplete or incorrect, do not add it here; add a request template to the entry itself to ask someone to fix the problem, e.g.
{{rfp}}
or{{rfe}}
for pronunciation or etymology respectively.- — Note also that such requests, like the information requested, belong on the base form of a word, not on inflected forms.
Please remove entries from this list once they have been written (i.e. the link is “live”, shown in blue, and has a section for the correct language)
There are a few things you can do to help:
- Add glosses or brief definitions.
- Add the part of speech, preferably using a standardized template.
- If you know what a word means, consider creating the entry yourself instead of using this request page.
- For words which are listed here only in their romanized form, please add the correct form in Chinese script.
- Don’t delete words just because you don’t know them – it may be that they are used only in certain contexts or are archaic or obsolete.
- Don’t simply replace words with what you believe is the correct form. The form here may be rare or regional. Instead add the standard form and comment that the requested form seems to be an error in your experience.

- 胥餘/胥余 - alternative name for the coconut? See here. Usage example badly needed.
- The translation quality of the passage linked above was rather questionable. The text from Bencao Gangmu can be read here. It mentions that the form 胥餘 (OC *sŋa la) ~ 胥邪 (OC *sŋa laː) was attested in the 《上林賦》, a fu (rhymed prose) composition by the writer Sima Xiangru (2nd century BCE). The two forms were from the same text as recorded in the Shiji and the Hanshu respectively (see page from Shiji, Hanshu). It should be noticed that Sima, like other Han-era fu writers in the same tradition, was extremely versatile and creative with rare names and forms in his fu compositions, often leaving later readers and commentators wondering about their exact meaning (which the authors themselves might or might not have really cared about). Tang-era commentators, referring to (now largely lost) Jin-era works, connects the 胥餘/胥邪 with what appears to be the coconut, which probably influenced the Bencao. Also, in the Nanbeichao-era commentary to the Shiji by Pei Yin, it was claimed, quoting from a now-lost work in the Jin-era, that Ji Zi (i.e. Gija, semi-legendary nobleman in the House of Shang), was named 胥餘.
