<< review queue entry 42631 - submitted by 'xiaoxiong' >> lots of examples on Baidu/Google, search for 纹了, here's one: 在额头纹了‘穷’字 Editor: Although M has a verb sense, GF – which you have previously held up as authoritative – says it's just a noun, and this stance is corroborated by other sources such as New Century, New Age etc. as well as in writings online. E.g. 但是，“紋”字自誕生以來，它的義項很明確，只表示“花紋、紋路”之意，尤其是與動詞“文”的 “刻畫”義項，絕無混淆。... “文身”有兩層含義，一個指在身上刻畫花紋，另一意為身上刻畫的花紋。前者是動作，後者是名稱。我們說了“紋”不具動詞性質，用“紋身”自然顯得有些不當。 「文」「紋」兩字，音相同，形、義不同。「紋」是後起字，分擔了「文」的花紋義，是名詞。「文」是動詞，指在人身上、臉上刻畫花紋、圖形或文字。 「紋」是個形聲字，本指絲織品上的花紋，如「綾紋」，因此，意符是「糸」。 Although you wrote (in an email) that you "just thought this was pretty obvious" (that 紋 is a verb "to tattoo"), on balance this view doesn't seem to be accepted. |
