PREFACE    TO    THE    SEVENTH     EDITION. 


The  preparation  of  this   edition    of    the  late  Dr.   Chalmers' 
EiiijU^h      Olid     Cantiine><i-     Diiiioiuirii    has     c-ngrossed      the 
whole   of   my    limited    leisure   during    the    past   three  years. 
The    labour    entailed    has    lieen    pecnliaily    fascinatint:.    and 
with  special    signiticance  for  me,    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-dinnei-    meeting 
which    I    was  privileged    to    attend,    in  the  middle  eighties, 
at  the  former  London  Mission  House,  where,  round  a  lamp- 
lighted    table,    under    the   personal    presidency    of    the   then 
venerable  head  of  the  London  IMission.  sat  the  late  Dr.  Faber, 
^[r.    J.   H.    Stewart  Lockhart  (now  His   Honour  the  Com- 
missioner   for   "Wei-hai-wei),    ilr.  (now  Dr.    (i.  H.  Bateson 
Wright  Head  Master  of  Queen's  College,  3ilr.  Addys  of  the 
Hongkong  and    Shanghai  Bank,  the   late  Mr.    A.    Falconer 
Second  blaster  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

members  of  the  class.  1  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.  ChainierB' 
arduons  and  varied  labours  in  the  wide  field  of  Sinology. 

I  have  interfered  neither  with  the  original  method  of 
transliteration — highly  praised  by  so  competent  and  exacting 
a  critic  as  Dr.  Eitcl,  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"  foi-  acquiiing  modern  languages 
now  in  active  progress  among  the  recognized  leaders  of 
phonetic  reform  in  Europe;  and  with  which,  in  Germany, 
Professor  Victor ;  in  France,  Monsieur  Paul  Passy,  and 
Mouoieur  I'abbc  Rousselot — the  discoverei'  of  the  system 
of  experimental  phonetics  which,  with  its  remarka])le 
instruments  of  precision,  brings  to  beai'  on  the  analysis  of 
sounds  the  exactitude  of  microscopic  examination  ;  and  in 
England,  Mr.  Walter  Piippraann,  are  so  closely  and 
prominently  connected.  In  which  case,  it  might  be  found 
necessary  to  adopt  the  alphabetic  symbols  authorized  by  the 
Association  Phonetique  IntcrnatioiuiU'.  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   can    be    no    question   about  a 


HI 

Ciii'eful  study  of  plioiietics  beiog  essential,  both  to  the  correct 
and  fluent  acquirement  ol'  any  spoken  foreign  language,  and 
bo  the  checking  and  settiug  right  of  the  mal-pronunciations 
of  one's  own  mother  tongue.  To  all  teachers,  hut  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  Beljaraes'  admirable  French  and  English  Dictionary, 
and  accordingly,  have  placed  exemplifying  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  ondtted,  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.G.,  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  Phrase  Books,  slowly  and  gradually  brought 
together  during  an  uninterniitted  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  ephemeral ities 
of  daily  newspapers,  and  the  many-sided  actualities  of 
kaieidroscopic  street-life.

The  total  increase  in  this  edition  is  reiirci^cutcd  by  about 
five  hundred  of  its  iwisrcs.  It  would  have  been  ijuitc  easy, 
with  the  iimiscd  niiitei'ial  I  still  have,  to  iiave  made  the 
volume  even  bnlkier.  In  Dr.  Chalmers'  life-time,  each 
successivt;  issue  was  considerably  larger  than  its  immediate 
forerunner. 

I  can  speak,  from  frecjuent  and  grateful  experience,  of  the 
exceptional  care  taken,  nnder  the  trying  circumstances  of 
crabbed  penmanshij)  and  tortured  interpolations,  in  the 
composing  room  of  Messrs,  Kelly  and  Walsh,  during 
the  unavoidably  long  drawn  out  period  of  rc-printing.  I  also 
desire  to  acknowledge  a  deep  debt  of  obligation  to  the  hue 
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  Diotionarv  has  been  carelnlly 
revised  throughout :  and  fully  one  tljird  has  been  added 
to  its  size. 

The  common  characters  (^  'm,  1^  he,\  and  y^  mo', 
which  are  unauthorized  and  local,  have  been  in  most  cases 
replaced  by  their  classic  equivalents,  ^,  "^^  and  4Bk  while 
the  colloquial  sounds  have  been  retained. 

Expressions  wholly  put  in  parentheses  are  not  colIo(|uiaI- 
but  single  syllables  in  parentheses  are  more  colloquial  forms 
of  those  that  they  immediately  follow.  Thus,  under  "About" 
will  be  found  "fc«w./?^-kan'  (/c'«;i');"  where  "■  fseuag-k'-an''''' 
is  the  more  colloquial. 

Adjectives  may  be  formed  at  pleasure  by  adding-  "/ti?^" 
to  nouns  and  verbs. 

Verbs  may  also  be  of  con  formed  by  placing  '■'I'lmxif''''  or 
"tso'"'  before  adjectives,  as  "cAg^^/y'-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  nommally 
eighteen,  and  fvadkaJhj  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  tore,"  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  snh  jmlic(\  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  bo  discovered,  or  none  at  all.

RULES    FOR    PRONOUNCING     THE    CHINESE. 


1.  111  tills  Dictionary  the  Ciiiiiese  tones  are  distinguished 
fi'om  one  another  by  mciins  of  two  accents,  and  two  kinds 
of  type,  Italic  and  Roman.  Syllables  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  Koman  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  and  natural  manner  in  which  we  speak 
oar  own  language.  E.g.^  in  the  sentence  "  Do  it  no>i',''''  tlic 
italicized  word  will  most  likely  be  uttered  in  the  same  tone 
as  the  Canton  collo(|uial  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  fjuestion  "Shall  I  do 
it-?w/r?"  the  voice  rises  in  a  somewhat  similar  manner,  and 
the  tone  of  the  Chinese  word  nau\  "to  twist"  would  be 
tjuite  appropriate  for  the  italicized  notr  in  this  ease. 

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  "Xow,  do  be  quiet." 

5.  Words  ending  in  k,  //,  /,  and  are  considered  by  the 
Chinese  as  differing  only  in  tone  fiuiii  those  ending  in  ny,  m, 
and  n.  But  they  are  sufficiently  distinguished  by  the  spell- 
ing, and  need  no  other  mark. 


6.  The  system  of  spelling  here  used  is  adapfceil  from 
lliab  of  Dr.  Willaiiiis'  Tunic  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  arc  to  he  pronounced  as  follows  : — 

((((,  and  a  final,  as  in  fa/her. 

a,  not  final,  as  in  vompany. 

<\  as  in  they. 

i,  as  in  machine,  but  before  ny  and  /;:,  as  in  kiug, 

0,  final,  as  in  }io,  and  not  final,  as  in  hop. 

oh,  as  in  horn. 

i),  as  in  Gofhe. 

00,  as  in  schooL 

i(,  as  in  fan,  (interchanged  with  short  a). 

nil,  nearly  as  in  bull. 

iir,  as  /*  in  Trilbner. 

ai,  as  y  in  fly. 

aaif  as  a  with  ea  in  far-reaching. 

iia,  as  oiv  in  now. 

aau,  as  a  with  u  in  far-ruUng. 

eu,  as  eyo  in  beyond. 

in,  as  ee  with  ov  in  set'  ymi. 

oi,  as  og  in  boy. 

id,  nearly  as  in  Louis. 

ooij  as  in  cooing. 

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

7.  According  to  the    above  method  of  distinguishing 
the  eight  tones,  they  will  stand  thus : — 

u'un        wun'      tcim^      icui        wun      wun'      wun'       Avut. 


It  is  well  to  keep  in  mind  timt  the  5th  and  Cth 
of  those  ione3  take  the  aspirate  (')  whenever  the  initial 
admits  of  it.  while  the  7th  never  takes  it.  Tims  we 
have  "ch'ne,  cline',  ch'ne':  p'o,  po',  po\"  vtc :  but  not 
"chue,  chue',  ch'ue';  po,  po',  p'o\"  S:c. 

It  is  also  a  rule  with  some  exceptions,  that  syllables 
beginning  with  /,  //^  or  n.  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  belong  to  them.  Thus  the 
sun  is  called  "it-t'au',"  a  Buddhist  priest  ••  woh-sheung',"  tVc. 
Other  words  in  wculiar  positions  have  u  variation  of  tone, 
as  "///;»*"'  to  sleep  which  is  pronounced  '\fuii''''  when  used 
alone  to  denote  that  a  person  is  asleep. 


IV  ENGLISH   AND  CANTONESE   DICTIONARY. 

The  use  of  short  n  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  jiot'fan' 
but  '  fun,' 


The  double  //  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  sons  to  be  not 
distinguishable  from  words  ending  in  iti,  but  it  is  an  exaggeration 
to   make     •^-  ^liue  rhyme  with  "W^  ^s/nti. 

The  only  vowel  used  with  a  diacritical  mark  is  d ;  and  it  is 
of  rare  occurrence.  I  cannot  accept,  even  on  the  authority  of 
Mr.  Parker,  this  vowel  as  a  substitute  for  eu  in  sheung,  shejiliy  &c. 
There  is  some  truth  in  the  suggestion,  but  if  sJiemig  gives  too 
much  of  a  diphthong,  x/iihig  gives  too  little.  Considering  that 
BR  long  SiTid.  ^^  Icung  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 
c,  which,  after  all,  does  not  represent  the  Cantonese  perfectly. 
However,  students  may  take  Mr.  Ball's  >^liong,  long,  &c.  as  a 
warning  not  to  exaggerate  the  diphthong. 

TJie  S  Tones. — 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  arc  in  the 
*  rising  '  tone.  (3)  Those  with  a  tonal  mark  ( ' )  or»  the  upper  right 
corner  are  in  the  '  going  '  tone.  (4)  And  word  ending  in  k,  p,  or  /, 
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  docs  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-

Additional  Tones: — We  are  indebted  to  Mr.  E.  H.  Parker  for 
first  calling  attention  to  otiier  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  a'niiaii,  a  cat,  the 
name  beine  an  imitation  of  its  cry.  These  upperiiiosi  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   CANTONI-SE  DICTIONARY. 

lowering  of  the  upper  fourth  tone  takes  phice  almost  invariably 
in  connection  with  long  or  broad  vowels.  The  first  tonal  exercise 
familiar  to  most  beginners  affords  an  example  of  it — 

Sin  \^m  Siti^  SiC. 

The  /  being  long  (=  re)  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 — 

Sinff  Sing  Sinff  Silc. 

Third,  all  the  tones,  except  perhaps  the  upper  even  and  the 
upper  abrupt,  arc  liable  to  be  changed  into  an  cxnggcralcd  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  lelt  side  of  the  syllable.   For  example, 

the  character  ^j^  (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  well  to  keep  in  mind  that  the  lower  even  and  the  lower 
rising  tones  always  take  the  aspirate  after  c/i,  k,  p,  t,  and  Ix, 
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, 
V&^  ke  "^^X  mo,  11^  lai,  &c.  in  many  cases  while  retaining 
the  colloquial  sounds.  It  seems  a  little  absurd  to  write  ^^  for 
"*  lai,'  to  come,  when  the  proper  character  -^K;  '  loi '  is  pronounced 


DIRECTIONS.  VI I 

"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  Ice^  to  nouns 
and  verbs. 

Verbs  may  often  be  formed  by  placing  ^ching  or  tso'  before 
adjectives,  as  '"iV/zw^-paak,  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^(^k'an),  is  an 
abbreviated  way  of  saying,  foo'-kan^*,  £>;'  foo''-'^k'an.
