Comment: << review queue entry 39433 >>
Came across this in passing. 芴 was part of the original import and has a
wrong definition: fluorine (an element) where it should be fluorene (a
hydrocarbon)
Zdict has
(1) 植物名。
芴,菲也。——《说文》
(2) 一种无色结晶状烷烃 [fluorene]C 13 H 10 ,具有紫色荧光,通常由煤焦油馏
出物制得,沸点在萘和蒽的沸点之间;邻二苯撑甲烷
And wikipedia has 芴(wù),是一個多環芳烴,分子式為C13H10。
My main interest is simply to delete the erroneous entry, but I have also tried
to concoct replacement entries from MoE and Zdict. I would be happy if you
left them out altogether or improved on them. PS, I'm not quite sure how to
treat the variant of 忽, since MoE and Zdict both say that it is only a variant
in the 忽然 sense of 忽.
Diff:
= 氟 氟 [fu2] /fluorine (chemistry)/
- 芴 芴 [wu4] /fluorine/
# + 芴 芴 [wu4] /fluorene C13 H10/the name of an edible wild plant/
+ 芴 芴 [wu4] /fluorene C13H10/(old) name of an edible wild plant/
# + 芴 芴 [hu1] /in a trance/suddenly/variant of 忽[hu1]/
+ 芴 芴 [hu1] /(old) vaguely/suddenly/
