<< review queue entry 63730 >> Translation totally wrongly. Not testicles not penis , is egg cell instead. https://zh.m.wikipedia.org/zh-hans/%E5%8D%B5%E7%BB%86%E8%83%9E ------------------------------- Editor: [luan3 zi5] doesn't mean "egg cell". You're confusing [luan3 zi5] with [luan3 zi3]. We have entries for both: 卵子 [luan3 zi5] /testicles/penis/ 卵子 [luan3 zi3] /ovum/ 卵子[luan3 zi5] does in fact mean testicles, as you can see from the following dictionary entry: 卵子 (luǎnzi) 睪丸的俗稱 https://www.moedict.tw/~%E5%8D%B5%E5%AD%90 The same webpage confirms that 卵子 means "ovum" when the pronunciation is luǎnzǐ: 卵子 (luǎnzǐ) 雌性動物的生殖細胞 As for "penis", one of our editors gave this example where 卵子 is a metonym for "penis": "說道：「親哥哥的卵子比從前長了許多，..." (妖狐艷史) Also, the Wiktionary entry for 卵子 says "(Beijing, colloquial) penis". https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=%E5%8D%B5%E5%AD%90 That sense was added by Wiktionary editor justinrleung. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/User:Justinrleung And if you expand the section titled "Dialectal synonyms of 陰莖 (“penis; male genitalia”)" on the Wiktionary page for 卵子, you will find that 卵子 is listed as meaning "penis" in various other dialects as well, including Guiyang and Yangzhou topolects of Mandarin. |
