Local voices
Starting with “裼吧肚” in Puyang speech, this article draws on related expressions in Anyang, the Book of Songs and Shuowen Jiezi to explore the sense of bodily exposure in “裼” and the evidence for “㞘” as the final character.
Local voices
Starting with “kiai住” in southern Henan speech and scenes of rural life, this article compares four possible spellings—刻, 克, 剋 and 揢—to explore the connection between local speech and Chinese characters. The original character remains unconfirmed: pronunciation, meaning and local written records must support one another.
