Sui: "liquid" and "river"

@-sche, do you remember where you got these two glosses from? I don't see them in the references listed. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 05:37, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

Sadly no. :( If they aren't present anywhere in either text (even e.g. in an example sentence somewhere else in the work than where the definition for this word is), then my guess would be that they were listed in the ABVD entry at the time (if so, they've since apparently been checked and removed). Please feel free to remove them here.
My occasional double-checks of my own old edits have caught a small number of copypastos (like copying infrastructure from one entry and changing e.g. only the header but forgetting the language code, or similar), so it's possible it's an error entirely on my end, but I see I added the senses in diff, so it doesn't seem like they'd be a copypasto unless they were intended to go with the Maonan section above them, and they aren't senses of the Maonan word (the Maonan dictionary gives other words for river and liquid), so that doesn't seem to be the case and I'm left assuming they were most likely in the ABVD at the time. - -sche (discuss) 07:32, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

@-sche: Alright, thanks. I don't think I can find those glosses in Ostapirat. This dictionary also only gives the definition of "water". By the way, I think we should probably adopt the orthography of this dictionary, described in the dissertation 李方桂《水话研究》之语言学研究 (A Linguistic Study of Li Fangkui's Sui Language Text Collection). I'll move the entry to namc then if there's no problem. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 04:49, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

Go for it. :) - -sche (discuss) 09:42, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
