Reading & tones

Schematic citation-tone diagrams from the source numbers. These are not recordings or predictions of connected speech.

Tone difference from Unihan

  • 親 is read can3 here; Unihan’s citation reading is can1. Same syllable, different tone across these source readings. CC-Canto also lists 親 can3 as its own entry.
  • 奶 is read naai4 here; Unihan’s citation reading is naai5. Same syllable, different tone across these source readings. CC-Canto also lists 奶 naai4 as its own entry.
  • 奶 is read naai2 here; Unihan’s citation reading is naai5. Same syllable, different tone across these source readings.

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).

Same syllable, six tones

naainaai1—naai2—naai3—naai4—奶naai5breastnaai6—

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.
