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

Reading difference from Unihan

重 has the reading zung6 here; Unihan’s citation reading is cung5. Different syllable across these source readings. CC-Canto also lists 重 zung6 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).

Same syllable, six tones

zung中zung1within 种zung2seed 众zung3manyzung4—zung5—仲zung6second month of a season

dim掂dim1to weigh in the hand 点dim2point 玷dim3blemishdim4—dim5—dim6—

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.
