Fix simplified form, as per http://zh.wiktionary.org/zh/Wiktionary:%E7%AE%80%E5%8C%96%E5%AD%97%E6%80%BB%E8%A1%A8/%E7%AC%AC%E4%B8%80%E8%A1%A8 . Simplification already found in ('嚮導', '向导') xiang4 dao3, ('嚮往', '向往') xiang4 wang3 etc.
Also fix link.

Didn't have an official source for 曏->向, so add it as a comment in case an editor knows one.

Editor:

1. 嚮 is on the simplified chart and it apparently *does* simplify to 向.
2. 曏 is the deprecated variant of 嚮, according to 异体字整理表: 嚮<曏>, in which case its simp. form would then also be 向.

曏:

M says:
1. 明、表明。
2. 從前、往昔。通「向」。

Z says: 同“向”。

【汉语大字典】 says:
1. 不久以前;往日。
2. 明。表明。
3. 介词。表示方向、对象,相当于 “向”、“朝向”、“对着”。

Comment: << review queue entry 47879 - submitted by 'cpitclaudel' >>
This is the only entry in the dictionary that lists 誰 as shui, and I can't find references saying that it is pronounced shui2 in this case, so I propose reverting to shei2.
I've looked at the previous revision, which reads "Is it really pronounced shui2?", but there were no comments/answers.

Editor: this change was actually proposed back then but ended up getting scrapped for some reason. Here is what editors commented at the time:

A: shui2 is the correct, literary pronunciation -- I have met with, maybe, 3 people who had this pronunciation...
B: i remember textbooks have shui, but i'll be damned if I have ever heard anyone say it anywhere. That being said, maybe both should be included.
C: Yeah, maybe both.

anyway, since we already indicate "also pr. shui2" at the character level, that should do.

For some reason both characters in 鑰匙|钥匙 are pronounced in a non-standard way; the 鑰|钥 entry does list [yao4], so perhaps the 匙 entry should list [shi5]?
鑰 钥 [yue4] /key/also pr. [yao4]/
editor: in this case, a person should refer to the entry for 钥匙, and 匙 alone cannot be shi5. The only way we could have it would be to add 匙 匙 [shi5] /see 鑰匙|钥匙[yao4 shi5], but there are tons of such special pronunciation (usually only for tone, sure) characters in Mandarin.

[zhan4] seems to be the Taiwanese pronunciation. Can a native/more experimented speaker confirm that the Taiwanese pronunciation is prevalent for 发颤?

This is among the examples wikipedia gives of tone sandhi on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Chinese_phonology#Tone_sandhi :

"When "一" falls between two words, it becomes neutral tone.
ex: 看一看 (kànyīkàn) becomes kànyikàn"

There must be plenty of other examples in the dictionary, but I'd like to get some feedback on this proposed modification before searching for all the other cases.

What do you think?

Editor: I suspect that that "rule" is an oversimplification.

For example ~
The tone of 一 (yī one) ... can adopt every tone by building kind of a “tone connection” between the tone of the preceding character and the tone of the following character. Example: 另一个 (lìngyīgè, another) is pronounced lìngyígè.
https://blogs.miis.edu/silpchinese13/2013/06/25/some-interesting-take-aways-on-pinyin-tones/

In any case, we don't record tone changes if they are covered by the "rules" of tone sandhi (which are actually attempts to *describe* how Chinese phonology works in practice, and not "rules" that native speakers and learners must observe). This is the custom adopted by most C-E dictionaries.

"Tone sandhi is not indicated (e.g., ni3 hao3 is not changed to ni2 hao3)"
http://cc-cedict.org/wiki/format:syntax#basic_format

ABC (in Wenlin at least) indicates tone sandhi by means of a dot under the syllable rather than by altering the tone mark. But there seems to be some inconsistency there:
ABC has
比一比 bǐyibǐ (neutral tone explicitly indicated for "yi")
留一手 liú yī̠shǒu (sandhi indicated by a dot under the syllable)
试一试 shìyīshì and 看一看 kànyīkàn (*no* indication of tone sandhi)

Of these, New Century has only 留一手 and its pronunciation there is indicated as liú yīshǒu. It would seem that the other expressions are omitted because they are mostly constructs.

Note also that "the" neutral tone is pronounced differently in the context of different tones of the surrounding words.

Since the dictionary already includes 吉安縣|吉安县[Ji2 an1 xian4], I think it would be better to link to that entry instead (Plus, I don't see the point of starting the definition with "Also ", given that this is already an enumeration of entries.

It might be useful to add a definition after the link though, as in
/abbr. for 吉安縣|吉安县[Ji2 an1 xian4], Ji'an county in Ji'an 吉安, Jiangxi/


Editor: No, thanks.
I do see the reason for "also".
And 吉安 is not an abbr of 吉安縣
The most you could say is that we have 吉安縣 but not 吉安市, then add the latter.

====================

Editor: The Hanban official vocabulary list in the zip file you quoted actually says dònghuàpiàn.

MoE says [pian4] ~ 動畫片 ㄉㄨㄥˋ ㄏㄨㄚˋ ㄆ|ㄢˋ (dònghuàpiàn)
ABC & Oxford also say dònghuàpiàn

And "New Century", in its entry for 片[piàn], has numerous examples of various types of movies in the form ***片, such as 新聞片; and in the section for the character 动, it specifically lists 动画片 as [dònghuàpiàn].

You can hear native speakers saying 动画片 as [dònghuàpiān], but *mostly* as [dònghuàpiàn] in this link ~
http://chinesepod.com/tools/glossary/entry/%E5%8A%A8%E7%94%BB%E7%89%87
(I'm sure it's confusing for native speakers too!)

I looked at this matter 18 months ago, and came to these conclusions:
1) It's first tone for 片子[piānzi] "film; movie" and in erhua forms like 動畫片兒[dong4 hua4 piar1]
2) But for movie words in the form ***片, it's fourth tone -- e.g. 動畫片[dong4 hua4 pian4] & 影片 yǐngpiàn
Diff:
# - 動畫片 动画片 [dong4 hua4 pian4] /animated film/
# + 動畫片 动画片 [dong4 hua4 pian1] /animated film/

Since the name in the definition was recently split (from Taisui to Tai Sui), the pinyin should probably be capitalized accordingly, shouldn't it?

Editor: I don't think so. What goes inside the the square brackets is an indication of how it should be rendered in pinyin. Wp and Wenlin, to name two sources, say it's Tàisuì. It makes sense as a single word, rather than two words.

What goes in the English definition part of the entry, on the other hand, is a/the customary way of rendering the name in English (which may *resemble* the pinyin, but is NOT the pinyin -- it doesn't have tone marks, for one thing). The customary way of rendering a Chinese word in English does not always develop according to the modern understanding of word segmentation. At any rate, Wp and other sources say it's referred to in English as "Tai Sui", and we have followed them in our entry, even though some sources say Taisui ~
