<< review queue entry 56040 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> The main sense of "quotient" is "the result obtained by dividing one quantity by another". It's a different sense here - "the magnitude of a specified characteristic or quality". Also, there is no indication that 商 occurs as a bound form in compounds of the form __商. In Chao's elegant and concise notation, that is indicated as "-B" (with B standing for "bound form" and the dash indicating that a word precedes 商). |
