(爽 神 兮 玫 瑰) (“Cheerful rose”)
East Asian languages appreciator. Mostly interested in Japanese, Korean, Min languages and Cantonese, as well as Sinitic historical phonology and phonetic correspondences in general. Hate when people equate Chinese with Mandarin.
Not really sure what to say further, but by the way, did you know that English "hound" and "canine", Russia собака /sɐˈbakə/ "dog", Hokchew 犬 /kʰɛiŋ³³/ "dog", Japanese 犬 /inɯ/ "dog" are all (possibly) cognates? Incredible if true isn't it?
