<< 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. |
