Reading difference from Unihan

覺 has the reading gaau3 here; Unihan’s citation reading is gok3. Different syllable across these source readings. CC-Canto also lists 覺 gaau3 as its own entry.

Computed by zimai: each syllable of the CC-Canto word reading is compared with Unihan 17.0.0 kCantonese for its character. The comparison does not say why a reading differs (a changed tone, 變音, a reading tied to one meaning, or a source variant).

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:

瞓覺 fèn jiào CC-CEDICT · Mandarinto sleep (Cantonese); Mandarin equivalent: 睡覺 shuì jiào

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: xun4 jiao4. It does not establish a Mandarin word with the same meaning.
