PREFACE TO THE SEVENTH EDITION.

The preparation of this edition of the late Dr. Chalmers'


EiiijU^h Olid Cantiine><i- Diiiioiuirii has c-ngrossed the

whole of my limited leisure during the past three years.

The labour entailed has lieen pecnliaily fascinatint:. and


with special signiticance for me, since it was partly under
the distinguished and safe guidance of Dr. Chalmers that
I acquired my first quickening insight into the Chinese
language, script and spoken. I still vividly retain very

clear recollection of a periodical after-dinnei- meeting


which I was privileged to attend, in the middle eighties,

at the former London Mission House, where, round a lamp-

lighted table, under the personal presidency of the then


venerable head of the London IMission. sat the late Dr. Faber,

^[r. J. H. Stewart Lockhart (now His Honour the Com-


missioner for "Wei-hai-wei), ilr. (now Dr. (i. H. Bateson
Wright Head Master of Queen's College, 3ilr. Addys of the

Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, the late Mr. A. Falconer


Second blaster of the old Government Central School, and
others, eagerly discussing, assiduously comparing, commenting
on, and revising, translations of portions of a minor
Chinese classic made, since the previous session, by individual

hH'2ZZQ
11

members of the class. 1 hence regard it as a distinct

honour to have been entrusted with the making and launch-


ing of a new edition of this dictionary, which, v.hen first

issued, was one of the earliest first-fruits of Dr. ChainierB'

arduons and varied labours in the wide field of Sinology.

I have interfered neither with the original method of

transliteration — highly praised by so competent and exacting

a critic as Dr. Eitcl, formerly Inspector of Schools in this


Colony — nor with the system of tone-marks adopted ; both
are possibly as effective and useful as any other of several in

present use. If, in any subsequent edition, it is deemed


advisable to change the mode of marking the pronunciation,
such change, I think, should be made on the lines indicated

in the "reform movement" foi- acquiiing modern languages


now in active progress among the recognized leaders of

phonetic reform in Europe; and with which, in Germany,


Professor Victor ; in France, Monsieur Paul Passy, and
Mouoieur I'abbc Rousselot — the discoverei' of the system
of experimental phonetics which, with its remarka])le

instruments of precision, brings to beai' on the analysis of

sounds the exactitude of microscopic examination ; and in

England, Mr. Walter Piippraann, are so closely and


prominently connected. In which case, it might be found
necessary to adopt the alphabetic symbols authorized by the
Association Phonetique IntcrnatioiuiU'. The change implied
is not so radical as would seem ; the difficulties in the way
of such an enterprise are not as great as might, at first

sight, be imagined. There can be no question about a


HI

Ciii'eful study of plioiietics beiog essential, both to the correct


and fluent acquirement ol' any spoken foreign language, and
bo the checking and settiug right of the mal-pronunciations
of one's own mother tongue. To all teachers, hut especially

to such as are engaged in imparting a knowledge of English


to foreigners, an intelligent grounding in phonetics seems an
absolute sine qua non. The study of this subject is still in

its infancy ; but, at least one dictionary, based on phonetic


principles, is already in existence.

I have tried to re-model the entire book on Bellow's


and Beljaraes' admirable French and English Dictionary,

and accordingly, have placed exemplifying sentences after

most vocables. Not only have many hundreds of such


amplifying and illustrative phrases been packed into the

book, but many extra words, previously ondtted, have been

inserted, each in its due alphabetic place. Botanical

expressions embodied in earlier editions, at the suggestion,

I am told, of Mr. Charles Ford, I.S.O., the Hon. Dr.


Ho Kai, C.M.G., and the late. Dr. Faber, have been
retained, and their number extended. Practically the whole

of the newly incorporated matter is from my own manuscript


Word and Phrase Books, slowly and gradually brought
together during an uninterniitted and ardent acquaintance
with Cantonese covering close upon twenty-three years ;

which matter has been gleaned, sifted, and garnered from all

imaginable sources— books classic and vulgar; dictionaries

and vocabularies magazines and pamphlets


; ; the ephemeral ities

of daily newspapers, and the many-sided actualities of

kaieidroscopic street-life.
IV

The total increase in this edition is reiirci^cutcd by about


five hundred of its iwisrcs. It would have been ijuitc easy,

with the iimiscd niiitei'ial I still have, to iiave made the

volume even bnlkier. In Dr. Chalmers' life-time, each


successivt; issue was considerably larger than its immediate
forerunner.

I can speak, from frecjuent and grateful experience, of the


exceptional care taken, nnder the trying circumstances of

crabbed penmanshij) and tortured interpolations, in the

composing room of Messrs, Kelly and Walsh, during


the unavoidably long drawn out period of rc-printing. I also

desire to acknowledge a deep debt of obligation to the hue


Mr. Tsang Chung, who, up to the time of his death, was
Second Chinese Assistant Master at (Queen's College, for

careful aid, cheerfully given to revision of proofs.

NOTE TO THE FOURTH EDITION.

This edition of the Cantonese Diotionarv has been carelnlly


revised throughout : and fully one tljird has been added
to its size.

The common characters (^ 'm, 1^ he,\ and y^ mo',


which are unauthorized and local, have been in most cases
replaced by their classic equivalents, ^, "^^ and 4Bk while
the colloquial sounds have been retained.

Expressions wholly put in parentheses are not colIo(|uiaI-


but single syllables in parentheses are more colloquial forms
of those that they immediately follow. Thus, under "About"
will be found "fc«w./?^-kan' (/c'«;i');" where " fseuag-k'-an'''''

is the more colloquial.

Adjectives may be formed at pleasure by adding- "/ti?^"

to nouns and verbs.

Verbs may also be of con formed by placing ''I'lmxif'''' or


"tso'"' before adjectives, as "cAg^^/y'-paak," "to whiten."
NOTE TO THE FIFTH EDITION

This edition of the Cantonese Dictionary is in no


important respect different from the last. Errors and
inaccuracies have been corrected where noticed.

It has lately been pointed out* by E. H. Parker, Esq.


of H.B.M. Consular Service that there are nommally
eighteen, and fvadkaJhj twelve tones, in the spoken
language of Canton. Some of the extra tones are what I have
referred in to previous editions as variations. One of them
is the "middle entering tore," introduced by Dr. Eitel into

his forthcoming Dictionary. That the distinctions exist,

and that they greatly increase the difficulty of the dialect,

I have no doubt ; but while they are still snh jmlic(\ being
in many cases of such a refined nature that only the most

delicate ear can detect them, it would be premature to

attempt introducing them systematically into a work for

beginners. Having heard the opinion of a judge in this

case, we must wait for the verdict of a jury. Meantime


the opinion is very valuable; and I recommend it to the

attention of all careful students of the dialect and of all

who wish to speak it with perfect accuracy as heard in


Canton City. In the country, probably, a different class of

variations might bo discovered, or none at all.

RULES FOR PRONOUNCING THE CHINESE.

1. 111 tills Dictionary the Ciiiiiese tones are distinguished


fi'om one another by mciins of two accents, and two kinds
of type, Italic and Roman. Syllables printed in Italics

must be pronounced on a key higher, always by a fourth,


and sometimes by a sixth of the scale, than the correspond-
ing ones in Koman letters.

2. Syllables which have no accent over them ought to

be pronounced, whether they be on a high or on a low key,


in the same easy and natural manner in which we speak
oar own language. E.g.^ in the sentence " Do it no>i','''' tlic

italicized word will most likely be uttered in the same tone


as the Canton collo(|uial word for "anger,'" nau.
3. If a syllable has the acute accent (') over it, there

must be a forcible raising of the pitch of the voice in the

act of enunciating it. In asking the fjuestion "Shall I do


it-?w/r?" the voice rises in a somewhat similar manner, and

the tone of the Chinese word nau\ "to twist" would be


tjuite appropriate for the italicized notr in this ease.

4. The grave acent (') indicates a vanishing note


which neither rises nor falls in pitch, and might be fitly

termed the drawling or pleading tone. It is occasionally

heard in such a phrase as "Xow, do be quiet."

5. Words ending in k, //, /, and are considered by the


Chinese as differing only in tone fiuiii those ending in ny, m,

and n. But they are sufficiently distinguished by the spell-


ing, and need no other mark.
6. The system of spelling here used is adapfceil from
lliab of Dr. Willaiiiis' Tunic Dictionary, only dispensing with

his diacritic marks for the sake of convenience in writing,

and printing, and, it is hoped, also in using the Dictionary.

The vowels arc to he pronounced as follows :

((((, and a final, as in fa/her.

a, not final, as in vompany.


<\ as in they.

i, as in machine, but before ny and /;:, as in kiug,

0, final, as in }io, and not final, as in hop.

oh, as in horn.

i), as in Gofhe.

00, as in schooL

i(, as in fan, (interchanged with short a).

nil, nearly as in bull.

iir, as /* in Trilbner.

ai, as y in fly.

aaif as a with ea in far-reaching.

iia, as oiv in now.

aau, as a with u in far-ruUng.


eu, as eyo in beyond.

in, as ee with ov in set' ymi.

oi, as og in boy.

id, nearly as in Louis.

ooij as in cooing.

sze, or sz' is a mere buzz, the vowel being scarcely heard.


7. According to the above method of distinguishing
the eight tones, they will stand thus :

u'un wun' tcim^ icui wun wun' wun' Avut.


It is well to keep in mind timt the 5th and Cth
of those ione3 take the aspirate (') whenever the initial

admits of it. while the 7th never takes it. Tims we


have "ch'ne, cline', ch'ne': p'o, po', po\" vtc : but not

"chue, chue', ch'ue'; po, po', p'o\" S:c.

It is also a rule with some exceptions, that syllables

beginning with /, //^ or n. are in the lower tones.

In colloquial discourse many common words, when


they end clauses or sentences, are pronounced with a rising

tone which does not properly belong to them. Thus the


sun is called "it-t'au'," a Buddhist priest ••
woh-sheung'," tVc.

Other words in wculiar positions have u variation of tone,


as "///;»*"' to sleep which is pronounced '\fuii'''' when used
alone to denote that a person is asleep.
IV ENGLISH AND CANTONESE DICTIONARY.

The use of short n in many cases where the other Dictionaries


have short a is to prevent a habit which English learners are very-
liable to get into of pronouncing, for example, ^q '
mun,' people,

exactly the same as the English word man ' ' ; '^ '
Fut,' Buddha,
the same as the English word '
fat.' &c. The broader Scotch a
is little nearer the Cantonese, but ^p is in any case jiot'fan'
but '
fun,'

The double // is a little different from double o. '


Kau-loon
should be written Kau-luung, the second syllable being indeed
quite different from the English '
lung,' yet not by any means the
same as the Scotch '
loon.'

Words ending in ite (ii) often vary in Canton sons to be not


distinguishable from words ending in iti, but it is an exaggeration
to make rhyme with "W^
•^- ^liue ^s/nti.

The only vowel used with a diacritical mark is d ; and it is

of rare occurrence. I cannot accept, even on the authority of


Mr. Parker, this vowel as a substitute for eu in sheung, shejiliy &c.
There is some truth in the suggestion, but if sJiemig gives too

much of a diphthong, x/iihig gives too little. Considering that


BR long SiTid.
^^ Icung rhyme with each other in the universal
language of China, it would seem almost better to write the

Cantonese sounds long and leong, than to introduce the peculiar


c, which, after all, does not represent the Cantonese perfectly.
However, students may take Mr. Ball's >^liong, long, &c. as a
warning not to exaggerate the diphthong.

TJie S Tones. —There are only eight regular tones in the


Chinese language, and even these are not all found in many
dialects. The upper series of tones is printed in Italics, and the
lower series in Roman letters. Syllables printed in Italics

must always be pronounced on a higher key than the others.

(i) Syllables without any tonal mark are in the 'even' tone.
DIRECTIONS.

(2) Those with a tonal mark (


^ ) on the upper left corner arc in the
* rising '
tone. (3) Those with a tonal mark ( ' ) or» the upper right
corner are in the '
going '
tone. (4) And word ending in k, p, or /,

are in the 'abrupt' tone; that is to say, they end in a close consonant
which cannot be sung out. It seems to me that the first tone
might more properly be called the 'natural' and the third the
'even' tone; for the third or 'going' tone resembles a note of
music which continues at the same pitch. It begins rather lower
than the first, but docs not drop at all.

The following is an example of the eight tones applied to

what the Chinese regard as one syllable (/being only a modifica-


tion of ;/ V

Additional Tones: — We are indebted to Mr. E. H. Parker for

first calling attention to otiier tones, besides the above eight,


which occur in Canton Colloquial.
First, there are three even tones instead of two, the upper-
most one being a sort of cry. A typical case is a'niiaii, a cat, the
name beine an imitation of its cry. These upperiiiosi even tones
are distinguished in this Edition of the Cantonese Dictionary by
a tonal mark on the lower left corner of the syllable in addition
to its being printed in Italics. I have been guided entirely by a
Cantonese Teacher in this and the following distinctions of tones.

Second, there are three abrupt tones instead of two, the


middle one being about as much lower than the one above as
the upper 'going' tone is lower than the upper 'even.' This-
VI ENGLISH AND CANTONI-SE DICTIONARY.

lowering of the upper fourth tone takes phice almost invariably


in connection with long or broad vowels. The first tonal exercise
familiar to most beginners affords an example of it

Sin \^m Siti^ SiC.

The / being long (= re) the fourth tone follows the cadence
of the third; so that this middle fourth tone is appropriately
marked like the third. What is probably the normal upper fourth

tone is heard where the vowel is short, as in

Sinff Sing Sinff Silc.

Third, all the tones, except perhaps the upper even and the
upper abrupt, arc liable to be changed into an cxnggcralcd rising
tono; the initial letter always following the proper tone of the
word, and the raising of the voice commencing from that pitch
whatever it may be. This exaggerated rising tone is indicated
by an asterisk on the upper lelt side of the syllable. For example,
the character ^j^ (near) has three pronunciations according to
the shades of meaning, kan^, ^k'an, and *kan'>. The last is to

commence like the first and has no aspirate (


'
) but it rises even
more than the second.
It is mind that the lower even and the lower
well to keep in
rising tones always take the aspirate after c/i, k, p, t, and Ix,
while the lower 'going' tone never takes it, and the lower abrupt
tone seldom. There is some little help in this to a foreigner in
distinguishing so many tones.
More than nine-tenths of the characters given as equivalents
of English words in this Dictionary will answer equally well for
the general language of China; and I have thought it well with

this in view to substitute authorized characters for pS- "m,

V&^ ke "^^X mo, 11^ lai, &c. in many cases while retaining

the colloquial sounds. It seems a little absurd to write ^^ for

"*
lai,' to come, when the proper character -^K; '
loi ' is pronounced
DIRECTIONS. VI

"lai ' in other dialects. This sort of thing, like the multiplication
of 'easy wenli ' versions of the Scriptures, will in the end only
multiply difficulties.

This Dictionary was from the first intended for English people
rather than Chinese, and those who consult it are requested, if

they fail to find any particular English word, to look for a


synonym or an approximate synonym; and to learn to form parts
of speech themselves from the material given, thus :

Adjectives may be formed at pleasure by adding Ice^ to nouns


and verbs.

Verbs may often be formed by placing ^ching or tso' before

adjectives, as '"iV/zw^-paak, to whiten.

Sometimes an alternative pronunciation of a syllable is given


in parentheses which will generally be found equally or more
colloquial. For example, under 'Adjoin,' foo''-kan^(^k'an), is an
abbreviated way of saying, foo'-kan^*, £>;' foo''-'^k'an.
