Talk:Lukfung

Quotation 2
Quotation 2 has Luk-fung instead of Lukfung, if you compare Hoi-fung. It just so happens that Lukfung is split between two lines in the book. RcAlex36 (talk) 04:00, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Good catch! I generally avoid examples that are split between lines. I will remove this one since although it may be implied that Luk-fung should have a dash here, there's no other Luk-fung in this book that I've seen yet, so I don't want to assume they wanted to hyphenate. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 10:36, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

atonal
Hey, I personally do like including the word 'atonal' hence I have never deleted that anywhere you have added it. However, I fear that other editors will view it as a hypercorrect thing. For instance, they might ask if an entry like Hong Kong needs to have the word 'atonal' in the etymology. I am personally not adding atonal/hyphenless because of how I perceive the contours of the personalities involved in Wiktionary, but I think it could be worthwhile if you really want to do it. Two things I would want to know are 1) whether there are any other etymological dictionaries or sources that have so labeled these words and 2) whether this is the exact term used by a significant contingent of scholars to describe these words. Keep up the good work! --Geographyinitiative (talk) 14:52, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Are there any English borrowings from Chinese that aren't atonal? If not, do we have to add it for every word? 70.172.194.25 14:54, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
