<< review queue entry 44516 - submitted by 'cpitclaudel' >> 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 ~ "Tai Sui (Chinese: 太歲; pinyin: Tàisuì) ..." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tai_Sui |
