Talk:䍇

RFV discussion: October 2016–February 2018
Rfv-sense "Cantonese: stool". Possibly a quirk of the Unihan database: 䍇 粵語 does not immediately support the existence of this sense. —suzukaze (t・c) 06:18, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

This website suggests that 䍇 does exist in Cantonese but is only used by people who believe in 本字, and the meaning is not "stool". —suzukaze (t・c) 06:24, 14 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Unicode most likely got the definition “stool” from “The Representation of Cantonese with Chinese Characters” by Cheung Kwan-hin and Robert S. Bauer, which cites 《实用广州话分类词典》 and gives the example 屎䍇 ( gives 9 results only), defined as “primitive toilet stool”. It seems to be written more often as 屎塔 ( gives 81 400 results only).
 * 䍇 is also found in 《廣州方言詞典》:
 * "[䍇] t‘ap˧˧ ❶大口的罎子：金～ 盛骸骨的罎子"
 * 《广州话本字考》 by 白宛如 (the editor of 《廣州方言詞典》) has something similar:
 * "[䍇] t‘ap˧˧ 通常写作“塔” 大口的坛子：瓦～"
 * Based on the above, it seems like “stool” is just a bad translation. As has mentioned, it is a 本字 that most people are unaware of, so it is rare and not easily attestable. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 02:18, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
