Mugi 19 Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Just an interest in Chinese dialects and obscure characters. I do have quite a bit of reference material, but no time until the weekend to use it, hence I've only been able to give summaries of the characters I recognise (although the Kunming [口山] note did come from something I pulled from the Internet a couple of years ago, so I'm not sure how valid it is). Will try to fill in the gaps in a couple of days, although the last two characters in your list look as though they may be a little tricky to track down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glenn 65 Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 About the 一 on top of 先 character, I've been told that it's an old character for 天. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mugi 19 Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Glenn, you're spot on with the 一/先 character being a variant of 天. I discovered the same thing several days ago when I tried looking it up in the 汉语大字典. But because it still looked like a dialect character to me, I held off saying anything. Thought it might have had another usage, but as far as I can tell at the moment, it doesn't. The 汉语大字典 also lists Quote Link to post Share on other sites
