Hakka sà[edit]

@Wyang Do you think Hakka is etymologically related to Mandarin chái etc.? — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 16:15, 1 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure. There isn't much I could find and I don't know enough Hakka either. On the surface the meaning and the s- initial look like it's a different word. Another sense is missing here as well: Min “many” (*dzeC), such as Min Dong sâ̤. Wyang (talk) 21:59, 1 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
@Wyang The Min meaning is covered at . — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 22:16, 1 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
I've put the Hakka as a separate etymology for now. As for the Min sense, I've put a zh-see box, but it categorizes the entry into verb senses (from the first zh-pron box). Could we perhaps suppress categorization or have some way of recategorization? — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 22:48, 1 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
It's not ideal but I tried to use a smarter algorithm in Module:zh-see to grab the zh-pron that lies immediately beneath a zh-forms that contains the pagetitle. It seems to be working. Wyang (talk) 00:59, 2 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
