[edit]@Ysrael214 Just to clarify, the Chinese here "濃青" is just your guess, right? Mar vin kaiser (talk) 14:21, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Mar vin kaiser Yes. but not sure either if it's really Chinese since in Diccionario Hispano Sinicum, green is already linked to the current green Chinese character. The halongtiyang origin is more likely. Ysrael214 (talk) 14:36, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Mar vin kaiser I can't find lunti, luntian, lungti, lungtian in old dictionaries either. Ysrael214 (talk) 14:50, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Mar vin kaiser Although I just guessed that, it seems that Arsenio Manuel had the same idea: https://books.google.com.ph/books?id=19APAAAAYAAJ&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=green
- The character seems to be pointing to 青 since he pointed out that it's chhieng or chheⁿ. Ysrael214 (talk) 12:17, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
