Rfv-sense: dhole. @Atitarev added it per Contemporary Chinese Dictionary (2002), but a newer (the newest?) version of the Contemporary Chinese Dictionary (Chinese edition) does not have such a sense. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 00:13, 20 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Justinrleung I won't cry if the sense is removed, it's from the old dictionary. BTW, I have pinged you on 猱犬 (náoquǎn, “dhole”), which I found in Pleco but you may have missed. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 04:35, 28 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Justinrleung: In the Dungan-Russian dictionary there is an entry for цэлон (celon) (tones III-I) with a translation шака́л (šakál, jackal) (for the lack of the more correct word for "dhole"). I'm pretty sure it's the equivalent of Mandarin 豺狼 (cháiláng). Dungan цэгу (cegu) = 豺狗 (cháigǒu) and цэгузы (ceguzɨ) are listed as synonyms. --Anatoli T.

FWIW, there are hits for google:"一隻豺狼", which would suggest it's referring to some animal (rather than "the dhole and the wolf"). It'd be hard to pin-point which exact animal it's referring to. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 03:20, 6 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
It seems that older work translate it as "wolf" (like [1]). I'm not sure if this is just an effect of translation. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 17:04, 10 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
