bigtops Posted September 2, 2008 at 07:26 PM Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 at 07:26 PM Well, this might look like an easy question but sitting with my handy-dandy Oxford dictionary and then a belabored trip to Zhongwen.com, I still am not confident I've got the pinyin for this name correctly. I've got Shu4 fu4 shi4 lu2 but Something's telling me that isn't it. Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidj Posted September 2, 2008 at 09:45 PM Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 at 09:45 PM My guess would be lai4 shi4 zuo4, although that assumes that the second stroke in the right half of the first character is missing and that they are traditional form.

bigtops Posted September 3, 2008 at 12:31 AM Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 at 12:31 AM Lord have mercy, that's gotta be it. Maaaaaaaaaan, thank you both. I've been having a heck of a time trying to track this guy down. A further question... Perhaps I am going blind but while I figured that first character was a single hanzi and not two side by side, I could not figure out what the radical was in the dictionary. Did I make a mistake or overlook something? I was using both Zhongwen.com and a concise Oxford dictionary, looking up by radical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
