Talk:病癥

RFV discussion: February 2017–November 2018
As it now stands, 病癥 is clearly a wrong traditional form of 病症. Is there a separate word from 病症? — justin(r)leung { (t...) 02:28, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * It probably is. It is now cited, but lacks a definition., any ideas? — justin(r)leung { (t...) 06:51, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
 * It's a variant traditional form of 病症, isn't it? ---&#62; Tooironic (talk) 06:56, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't think so. 癥 is only read as zhēng, never as zhèng. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 07:01, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
 * If that is the case, 古代汉语词典 and CEDICT are wrong. ---&#62; Tooironic (talk) 07:11, 12 February 2017 (UTC)


 * My 古代汉语词典 (第二版) only gives zhēng for 癥 and only gives zhèng for 症. Dokurrat (talk) 17:14, 19 January 2018 (UTC)


 * As I understand it:
 * 徵/征
 * zheng1, zing1
 * "(strictly) disease signs; (loosely) signs and symptoms"
 * among other non-medical meanings and the music zhi3, zi2 pronunciation
 * 症/症
 * zheng4, zing3
 * "symptoms of disease; disease"
 * 癥/症:
 * zheng1, zing1
 * "abdominal tumour; (fig.) sticking point"
 * (alt. form of 徵/征 - "signs and symptoms of disease")
 * (alt. form of 症/症 - "disease")

 * I agree, with one exception. If 癥/症 is read as zhēng, would it really be an alt. form of 症/症? — justin(r)leung { (t...) 20:55, 12 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Alt. term would be more appropriate (for example, at 病癥). Wyang (talk) 21:08, 12 February 2017 (UTC)


 * The sense “signs and symptoms of disease” (alt. form of 病徵) is cited. We still need two more citations for “disease; illness”. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 05:58, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

One sense attested, the other deleted. Wyang (talk) 11:51, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
