Character Selection
edit@Mlgc1998 Why'd you create this entry with the character "响" and not its traditional form "嚮"? Mar vin kaiser (talk) 08:42, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Mar vin kaiser This page's creation before is a result of this discussion before: Talk:種牙. The 晋江市方言志 at p.117 (49 of 69) wrote it as "* 响个" and there was not much else sources talking about this term, so I followed that source on this rather than few other sources I found about it. It's also a common grammatical pronoun that one would likely write very frequently with, so 响 being written simple enough and 向 being phonetically similar besides the tone is convenient as well and it having a 口 radical would make it obvious that it's a phonetically loaned character for wherever this term may have come from. Also, 响 links back to multiple supposed traditional forms, such as 響 and 嚮, and the limited few sources I found never mentioned which one. Mlgc1998 (talk) 11:32, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
