Talk:細孥囝

@Justinrleung: Hi. The term has been used for ever but my only source for the full word is Wiktionary. Is it and SoP? Can the reading be verified? I thought I'd fill that red link. Feel free to delete if it's wrong or unverifiable. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 04:06, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Where did you get this word from? RcAlex36 (talk) 05:17, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
 * @RcAlex36: From Wiktionary: at baby. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 05:25, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

 * I will send this to rfv then. (I'm not sure I trust the IP.) When you're not sure, it's probably best to not create the entry even if there's a red link. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 04:47, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Chinese. From baby, but not sure if this is verifiable. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 04:48, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Teochew. I created the entry. It's made of and . We have both entries as Teochew components. So, it's literally "little child". It was first added as a translation, simply in "soi3 nou5gian2" in Peng'im transliteration in  by an IP, then converted to use Chinese characters in  by User:Fish bowl. If the entry is unverified and deleted, shall we delete the translation as well or split the Teochew translation into its SoP parts, like this: 細孥囝 or delete entirely? Google shows hits but they are not very meaningful. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 00:06, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Orthodox/Original form of in Cantonese.   are close in pronunciation. -- Ywhy (talk) 04:08, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
 * This would be unattested in Cantonese AFAIK, so the claim that it's "orthodox/original" probably doesn't hold water. Also connecting 孥 to tdoesn't seem to explain why it's l- in Cantonese (according to conservative sources) or tone 6. Moreover, 囝 is not "etymological" for zai2 in Cantonese (only seems to be used for zai2 when it's in 囝囝 zai4 zai2). — justin(r)leung { (t...) 02:10, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Thanks, 潮陽方言研究 should be enough for verification, but just for Chaoyang dialect. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 18:00, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
