Same syllable, six tones

deidei1—dei2—dei3—dei4—dei5—地dei6-ly

Characters whose customary Unihan reading (kCantonese) is this syllable in each tone, chosen as in the tone atlas (2013 standard level, then the number of CC-CEDICT words they form), with CC-Canto 2017's meaning for that reading; a dash means no catalogue character has that reading. Checked syllables (-p, -t, -k) normally carry tones 1, 3 and 6. Character readings, not word readings; no frequency implied.

Mandarin comparison · separate source entries

CC-CEDICT, the Mandarin–English dictionary, lists the same written form:

  • 席地 xí dì CC-CEDICT · Mandarin(literary) to spread a mat on the ground; (by extension) to be on the ground or floor (as in 席地靜坐 xí dì jìng zuò to meditate seated on the floor)

A separate source entry, shown for comparison. The same characters can carry different senses in Mandarin and in Cantonese; zimai does not align these senses.

CC-Canto includes this pinyin reference: xi2 di4. It does not establish a Mandarin word with the same meaning.
