 PREFACE TO THE SEVENTH EDITION.

The preparation of this edition of the late Dr. Chalmers'

Etif/U^h and Canfone^e Dietioufiry has engrossed the

whole of my limited leisnre during the past three years.

The labour entailed lias l)een peculiarly fascinating, and

with special significance for rae, since it was partly under
the distinguished and safe guidance of Dr. Chalmers that
I acquired my first quickening insight into the Chinese

language, script and spoken. I still vividly retain very

clear recollection of a periodical after-dinner meeting

which I was privileged to attend, in the middle eighties,

at the former liondon Mission House, where, round a lamp-

lighted table, under the ))ersonal presidency of the then

venerable head of the London Mission, sat the late Dr. Faber,

Mr. J. H. Stewart Tiockhart (now His Honour the Com-

missioner for Wci-hai-wei), ^\x. (now Dr.) (!. H. Bateson
Wright Head Master of Queen's College, Mr. Addys of the
Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, the late Mr. A. Falconer
Second Master of the old Government Central School, and
others, eagerly discussing, assiduously comparing, commenting
on, and revising, translations of portions of a minor
Chinese classic made, since the previous session, by individual
 11

members of the class. I hence regard it as a distinct

honour to have been entrusted with the making and launch-

ing of a new edition of this dictionary, which, v.hen first

issued, was one of the earliest first-fruits of Dr. Chalmers'

ardnons and varied labours in the wide field of tSinology.

I have interfered neither with the original method of

transliteration— highly praised by so competent and exacting

a critic as Dr. Eitel, formerly Inspector of Schools in this

Colony — nor with the system of tone-marks adopted; both

are possibly as effective and useful as any other of several in

present use. If, in any subsequent edition, it is deemed

advisable to change the mode of marking the pronunciation,
such change, I think, should be made on the lines indicated

in the "reform movement" for acquiring modern languages

now in active progress among the recognized leadeis of

phonetic reform in Europe ; and with which, in Germany,

Professor Vietor ; in France, Monsieur Paul Passy, and
Monsieur Tabbe Rousselot — the discoverer of the system

of experimental phonetics which, with its remarkable

instruments of precision, brings to bear on the analysis of

sounds the exactitude of microscopic examination ; and in

England, Mr. Walter Piippmann, are so closely and

prominently connected. In which case, it might be found
necessary to adopt the alphabetic symbols authorized by the
Association Pkonetiqite Internatioiiolp. The change implied
is not so radical as would seem ; the difficulties in the way
of such an enterprise are not as great as might, at first

sight, be imagined. There pan be no question about a

 ;

Ill

c.ireful study of phonetics being essential, both to the correct

and fluent acquirement of any spoken foreign language, and
to the checking and setting right of the raal-pronunciations

of one's own mother tongue. To all teachers, but especially

to such as are engaged in imparting a knowledge of English

to foreigners, an intelligent grounding in phonetics seems an
absolute sine qua non. The study of this subject is still in

its infancy ; but, at least one dictionary, based on phonetic

principles, is already in existence.

I have tried to re-model the entire book on Bellow's

and Beljanies' admirable French and English Dictionary,

and accordingly, have placed exemplify hig sentences after

most vocables. Not only have many hundreds of such

amplifying and illustrative phrases been packed into the

book, but many extra words, previously omitted, have been

inserted, each in its due alphabetic place. Botanical

expressions embodied in earlier editions, at the suggestion,

I am told, of Mr. Charles Ford, I.S.O., the Hon. Dr.

Ho Kai, C.M.6., and the late. Dr. Faber, have been
retained, and their number extended. Practically the whole

of the newly incorporated matter is from my own manuscript

Word and riiraae Books, slowly and gradually lirought

together during an uninterinitted and ardent acquaintance

with Cantonese covering close upon twenty-three years

which matter has been gleaned, sifted, and garnered from all

imaginable sources— books classic and vulgar; dictionaries

and vocabularies; magazines and pamphlets ; the ephemeraiities

of daily newspapers, and the many-sided actualities of

kaleidroscopic street-hfe.
 IV

The total increase in this edition is represented bj about

five bundrcd of its pages. It would have l>een quite easy,

with the unused material I still iiave, to have made the

volume even bulkier. In Dr, Chalmers' life-time, each

successive issue was considerably larger than its immediate
forerunner.

I can speak, from frequent and grateful experience, of the

exceptional care taken, under the trying circumstances of
crabbed penmanship and tortured interpolations, in the

composing room of Messrs. Kelly and Walsh, during

the unavoidably long drawn out period of re-printing. I also

desire to acknowledge a deep debt of obligation to the late

Mr. Tsang Chung, who, up to the time of his death, was

Second Chinese Assistant Master at Queen's College, for

careful aid, cheerfully given to revision of proofs.

NOTE TO THE FOURTH EDITION.

This edition of the Cantonese Dictionary has been carefully

revised throughout; and fully one third has been added

to its size.

The common characters f^ 'm, Ij^ Ice\ and

:f\
mo',
which are unauthorized and local, have been in most cases
replaced by their classic equivalents, ^, ^, and ^ while
the colloquial sounds have been retained.

Expressions wholly put in parentheses are not colloquial

but single syllables in parentheses are more colloquial forms

of those that they immediately follow. Thus, under "About"
will be ionnd '^tseung-hAn'' (tan');'' where ^' tseimff-tan'"
is the more colloquial.

Adjectives may be formed at pleasure by adding " ke^

"

to nouns and verbs.

Verbs may also be often formed by placing "'7i<?n/?'" or

"tso'" before adjectives, as "cAc^z/'-paak," "to whiten."
 NOTE TO THE FIFTH EDITION.

This edition of the Cantonese Dictionary is in no

important respect different from the last. Errors and
inaccuracies have been corrected where noticed.

It has lately been pointed out* by E. H. Parker, Esq.

of H.B.M. Consular Service that there are nominally
eighteen, and pracUcctlhj twelve tones, in the spoken
language of Canton. Some of the extra tones are what I have
referred in to previous editions as variations. One of them
is the "middle entering tone," introduced by Dr. Eitel into
his forthcoming Dictionary. That the distinctions exist,

and that they greatly increase the difficulty of the dialect,

I have no doubt ; but while they are still sid) judice, being
in many cases of such a refined nature that only the most

delicate ear can detect them, it would be premature to

attempt introducing them systematically into a work for

beginners. Having heard the opinion of a judge in this

case, we must wait for the verdict of a jury. Meantime

the opinion is very valuable; and I recommend it to the

attention of all careful students of the dialect and of all

who wish to speak it with perfect accuracy as heard in

Canton City. In the country, probably, a different class of

variations might be discovered, or none at all.

RULES FOR PRONOUNCING THE CHINESE.

1. In this Dictionary the Chinese tones are distinguished

from one another by means of two accents, and two kinds
of type, Italic and Roman. Sylhibles printed in Italics

must be pronounced on a key higher, always by a fourth,

and sometimes by a sixth of the scale, than the correspond-

ing ones in Roman letters.

2. Syllables which have no accent over them ought to

be pronounced, whether they be on a high or on a low key,
in the same easy atid natural manner in which we speak
our own language. E.g.^ in the sentence " Do it /<o/r," the

italicized word will most likely be uttered in the same tone

as the Canton collo(juial word for "anger," nau.

3. If a syllable has the acute accent (') over it, there

must be a forcible raising of the pitch of the voice in the

act of enunciating it. In asking the (picstion "Shall I do

it mtvy the voice rises in a somewhat similar manner, and
the tone of the Chinese word nau', "to twist would be
([uite appropriate for tlie italicized )ww in this case.

4. The grave acent (^) indicates a vanishing note

which neither rises nor falls in pitch, and might be fitly

termed the drawling or pleading tone. It is occasionally

heard in such a phrase as "Now, do be quiet."

5. Words ending in Ic, p, t, and are considered by the

Chinese as differing only in tone from those ending in ny, in,

and n. But they are suflBciently distinguished by the spell-

ing, and need no other mark.

 — —

6. The system of 8f)elling here used is adapfced from

that of Dr. AVillahns' Tonic Dictionary, only dispensing with

Ilia diacritic marks for the sake of convenience in writing,

and printing, and, it is hoped, also in using the Dictionary.

The vowels are to be pronounced as follows :

aa, and a final, as in father.

rt, not final, as in company.

r, as in they.

i, as in machine, but before ny and k, as in king,

0, final, as in no, and not final, as in hop.

oh, as in horn.

it, as in Go the.
00, as in school.

u, as \n fun, (interchanged with short a),

HU, nearly as in bull.

ue, as a in Triibner.

ai, as y in fly.

aaiy as a with ea in far-rcachiny.

au, as ow in now.

aaii, as a with u in far-ruling.

eu, as eyo in beyond.

in, as ee with ov in see you.

oi, as oy in %/,
ui, nearly as in Louis.

ooif as in cooing.

sze, or S3' is a mere buzz, the vowel being scarcely heard,

7. According to the al)ove method of distinguishing
the eight tones, thev will stand thus :

ffi
icun
«
wwi'
'IS
ivun"-
JB
wut
«
wun
r a « wun' wun' Avut.
 ^* It ii well to keep in mind that the yth and Gth
of those tones take the aspirate (') whenever the initial

admits of it, while the 7th nayer takes it. Thus we

have "ch'ne, chne', eh'ne'; p'o, po', p<»'," i*tc ; bnt not
"chue, chue', ch'ue'; po, po', p'o\" &c.

It is also a rule with some exceptions, that syllables

beginning with /, ni, or », are in the lower tones.

In colloquial discourse many common words, when

they end clauses or sentences, are pronounced with a rising
tone which does not properly l)elong to them. Thus the
sun is called "it-t'au'," a Buddhist priest " woh-sheung'," t^c.

Other words in jjccnlinr jwsitions have a variation of tone,

as ".//m^" to sleep which is pronounced "/«//'" when used
alone to denote that a jierson is aRleep.

DIRECTIONS FOR USING THE ENGLISH AND

CANTONESE DICTIONARY.

The system of spelling here used is adapted from that of

Dr. Williams' Tonic Dictionary, only dispensing with his diacritic
marks for the sake of convenience in writing and printing, and, it

is hoped, also in using the Dictionary. The vowels are to be

pronounced as follows :

an, and a final, as in father.

a, not final, as in coinpajiy.
e, as in they.
i, as in machine, but before «^ and k as in /ihig.

0, final as in ?io, and not final, as in hop,

oh, as in kor/i.

0, as in Gotlie.
00, as in school..

u, as in fim, (interchanged with short a.')

Jiu, nearly as in bull.

tie, as ii in Trilbner.
at, asjv injly.
atii, as a with ea [n far-reaching.
an, as oiv in flow.

aau, as a with u in far ruling,

eti, as eyo in beyond, or ayo in crayon.
ill, as ee with oti in see you.

oi, as oy in boy.
lit, nearly as in Louis.
ooi, as in cooing.
-sze or ir' is a mere buzz, with scarcely any vowel sound.
IV ENGLISH AND CANTONESE DICTIONARY.

The use of short tt in many cases where the other Dictionaries

have short a is to prevent a habit which English learners are very-
liable to get into of pronouncing, for example, ^q '
mun,' people,

exactly the same as the English word man *

'
; '^ ' Fut,' Buddha,
the same as the English word 'fat,' &c. The broader Scotch a
is little nearer the Cantonese, but ^p is in any case not 'fan'
but ' fun.'

The double n is a little different from double o. '

Kau-loon'
should be written Kau-luung, the second syllable being indeed
quite different from the English '
lung,' yet not by any means the
same as the Scotch '
loon.'

Words ending in ite (ii) often vary in Canton so as to be not

distinguishable from words ending in ///, but it is an exaggeration
to make •^- ^hue rhyme with pfJC ^shui.
The only vowel used with a diacritical mark is o ; and it is

of rare occurrence. I cannot accept, even on the authority of

Mr. Parker, this vowel as a substitute for eti in sheung, sheuk, &c.

There is some truth in the suggestion, but if shezing gives too

much of a diphthong, shong gives too little. Considering that

hR long and ^^ leung rhyme with each other in the universal

language of China, it would seem almost better to write the

Cantonese sounds long and leong^ than to introduce the peculiar
t>, which, after all, does not represent the Cantonese perfectly.
However, students may take Mr. Ball's shong, long, &c. as a
warning not to exaggerate the diphthong.

T7ie 8 To7ies. —There are only eight regular tones in the

Chinese language, and even these are not all found in many
dialects. The upper series of tones is printed in Italics, and the
lower series in Roman letters. Syllables printed in Italics
must always be pronounced on a higher key than the others,
(i) Syllables without any tonal mark are in the 'even' tone.
 —

DIRECTIONS.

(2) Those with a tonal mark (

^ )
on the upper left corner are in the
'
rising '
tone. (3) Those with a tonal mark (.
^ ) oi> the upper right
corner are in the '
going '
tone. (4) And word ending in k,p, or ty

are in the 'abrupt' tone; that is to say, they end in a close consonant
which cannot be sung out. It seems to me that the first tone
might more properly be called the 'natural' and the third the
'even' tone; for the third or 'going' tone resembles a note of
music which continues at the same pitch. It begins rather lower
than the first, but does not drop at all.

The following is an example of the eight tones applied to

what the Chinese regard as one syllable (^ being only a modifica-

tion of «):

UPPER SERIES. LOWER SERIES.

Additional Tones: — We are indebted to Mr. E. H. Parker for

first calling attention to other tones, besides the above eight,

which occur in Canton Colloquial.

First, there are three even tones instead of two, the upper-
most one being a sort of cry. A typical case is (_iniiaH, a cat, the
name beinsr an imitation of its cry. These uppermost even tones
are distinguished in this Edition of the Cantonese Dictionary by
a tonal mark on the lower left corner of the syllable in addition
to its being printed in Italics. I have been guided entirely by a
Cantonese Teacher in this and the following distinctions of tones.

Second, there are three abrupt tones instead of two, the

middle one being about as much lower than the one above as
the upper 'going' tone is lower than the upper 'even.' This
 — —

-VI ENGLISH AND CANTONFSE DICTIONARY.

lowering of the upper fourth tone takes place almost invariably

in connection with long or broad vowels. The first tonal exercise
familiar to most beginners affords an example of it

Sin ^Sin Sitt' Sit'.

The i being long (= ee) the fourth tone follows the cadence
-of the third; so that this middle fourth tone is appropriately-
marked like the third. What is probably the normal upper fourth

tone is heard where the vowel is short, as in

Sing Sing Sing' Sik.

Third, all the tones, except perhaps the upper even and the
upper abrupt, arc liable to be changed into an exaggerated rising
tono; the initial letter always following the proper tone of the
word, and the raising of the voice commencing from that pitch
whatever it may be. This exaggerated rising tone is indicated
by an asterisk on the upper left side of the syllable. For example,
the character ^^^ (near) has three pronunciations according to

the shades of meaning, kan^, ^k'an, and *kan^. The last is to

commence like the first and has no aspirate (

*
) but it rises even
more than the second.
It is mind that the lower even and the lower
well to keep in
rising tones always take the aspirate after c/i, i, p, i, and is,
while the lower 'going' tone never takes it, and the lower abrupt
tone seldom. There is some little help in this to a foreigner in
distinguishing so many tones.
More than nine-tenths of the characters given as equivalents
-of English words in this Dictionary will answer equally well for

the general language of China; and I have thought it well with

this in view to substitute authorized characters for pS 'm,

'^^wt
^'^
ti "^°'
^^K ^^^' ^^' ^^ niaJ^y cases while retaining

seems a for
fthe colloquial sounds. It little absurd to write ^^
^lai,' to come, when the proper character ^j^ *loi ' is pronounced
 —

DIRECTIONS. VII

/lai ' in other dialects. This sort of thing, like the multiplication
of 'easy wenli ' versions of the Scriptures, will in the end only
multiply difficulties.

This Dictionary was from the first intended for English people
rather than Chinese, and those who consult it are requested, if

they fail to find, any particular English word, to look for a

synonym or an approximate synonym; and to learn to form parts

of speech themselves from the material given, thus :

Adjectives may be formed at pleasure by adding ke^ to nouns

and verbs.

Verbs may often be formed by placing ^ching or tso^ before

adjectives, as '(r///;/^-l)aak, to whiten.

Sometimes an alternative pronunciation of a syllable is given

in parentheses which will generally be found equally or more
colloquial. For example, under 'Adjoin,' foo'-kan^C^k'an), is an
abbreviated way of saying, foo'-kan', or foo''-^k'an.
