Hi all,
I'm currently trying to deal with the explanations in Chinese given in Practical Chinese Reader I.
At this moment one particular character gives me a head ache; i cannot find it in my dictionary, nor in the various online dicos.
The context is:
是一个舌尖鼻韵母。宪发a,舌位比单元音a靠前,紧跟着舌尖抵向齿K,同时软颚下垂,让气流从鼻腔流出。
The missing character consists of two parts: the part on the left is 齿 (trad. 齒); the part on the right is 艮.
Could somebody help me out?
Thanks in advance,
Frank
Problems with a Chinese character
My guess, like yours, was first founded on the context that the sentence explains how to articulate a phoneme. After I checked my Sanseido Jp-Ch dictionary, I am sure that ya1yin1 is booth bed in Chinese. Ya is tusk and yin is tooth + root.
As I am writing this from a Mac, I cannot pinpoint the kanji we are talking about. But hope this makes sense to you.
