<< review queue entry 52825 - submitted by 'ycandau' >> a) I see no indication that it means "center hook and corner link", which anyway doesn't help me understand a sentence as: 檐牙高啄。各抱地势，钩心鬭角。 Dicts have a very definite definition: 形容宮室的建築結構精緻巧妙 b) this should not overshadow the modern, very common sense of the idiom. |
