Hunqie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hǔnqiè 混切, or "mixed fǎnqiè", specifies Chinese characters where there is inconsistent evidence about whether the initial of the Middle Chinese reader of the character is a labiodental or a bilabial. There are three types. In the first type the upper fǎnqiè speller (qièshàngzì 切上字) indicates a labiodental but the lower fǎnqiè speller (qièxiàzì 切下字) does not belong to the 10 labiodental rimes (qīngchúnshíyùn 輕唇十韻). The second type is when the upper fǎnqiè speller is a bilabial but the lower fǎnqiè speller belongs to the 10 labiodental rimes. The third type is when the upper fǎnqiè speller points to a labiodental and the lower fǎnqiè speller belongs to the 10 labiodental rimes, but the character that is glossed is a bilabial according to the Guǎngyùn《廣韻》.[1]
