Footnotes

[edit]
  1. ^ The Hǎikǒu form for this etymon [ŋia1] suggests the reconstruction of *ŋh-.
  2. ^ For the relationship between *lua4 and *zioʔ8, see Mei (1999: 13–15).
  3. ^ The reconstruction of *pʰui5 is based on the reflexes of Dàtián and Huìdōng ([pʰui5]).
  4. ^ There are two forms for referring ‘table’ in the Dàtián dialect: 桌 [tɤ5] and 桌床 [tɤ5 tsʰŋ2].
  5. ^ The Quánzhōu and Zhāngzhōu forms are fusions of *hɯ3 ‘that’ and *it7 ‘one’. See Mei (1999: 8) for discussions.
  6. ^ The Quánzhōu, Zhāngzhōu and Cháoyáng forms of this word are fusions of *i1 ‘s/he’ and *naŋ2 ‘person’ (cf. Norman 1983: 208; Mei 1999: 2–4). The Jiēyáng and Léizhōu dialects keep the original forms. See also the forms of ‘we’ and ‘you (plural)’.
  7. ^ For the etymology of this word, see Mei (1999: 21–23). The Quánzhōu and Zhāngzhōu forms are fusions of *tsi3 ‘this’ and *it7 ‘one’.
  8. ^ The modern forms of this word are believed to be fusions of *ɡua3 ‘I’ and *naŋ2 ‘person’ (cf. Norman 1983: 208; Mei 1999: 2–4). See also the forms of ‘you (plural)’ and ‘they’.
  9. ^ For the reconstruction of *sip8, see example 229 of Chapter 3.
  10. ^ The reconstruction of the *m- initial for this etymon is chiefly based on the reflex of Hǎifēng, i.e. [mak8].
  11. ^ For the reconstruction of *kʰɯk8, see example 352 of Chapter 3.
  12. ^ The modern forms of this word are believed to be fusions of *lɯ3 ‘you’ and *naŋ2 ‘person’ (cf. Norman 1983: 208; Mei 1999: 2–4). See also the forms of ‘we’ and ‘they’.
