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. 



IV 

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- 
tion of ;/ V —

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.
