喪禮的禮節

談一個英文字wake。wake一般解「醒來」,通常和up一起用。如果你入住酒店,希望明早七時接待處會打電話叫醒你,那電話就是wake up call。wake另一個解釋就不是這麼好,喪禮中的「守夜」就叫wake,喪禮後的「解慰酒」也叫wake,wake變成了喪禮裡的禮節。

I don't think so. I think it should be 慰 (wei4) instead of 穢 (hui4).

又喪事完畢,主家例設解慰酒筵,以宴請參加喪禮之親友;「解慰」,俗以為是「解穢」,非也。

Also take a look at No. 52 (you can find the answer there) -> http://www.hkedcity.net/student/forum/read.phtml?forum_id=56&current_page=&i=690334
