 DIRECTIONS FOR USING THE ENGLISH AND 
 CANTONESE DICTIONARY, 
 
 The system of spelling here used is adapted from that of 
 Dr. Williams' Tonic Dictionary, only dispensing with his diacritic 
 marks for the sake of convenience in writing and printing, and, it 
 is hoped, also in using the Dictionary, The vowels are to be 
 pronounced as follows : — 
 
 aa, and a final, as in father, 
 
 a^ not final, as in company. 
 
 e^ as in they. 
 
 iy as in machine^hwt before ng and k as in king. 
 
 Oi final as in no, and not final, as in hop. 
 
 oh, as in horn. 
 
 df as in Gothe. 
 
 ooy as in school. 
 
 u, as \rvfu7t, (interchanged with short a.) 
 
 uuy nearly as in bull. 
 
 ue, as ii in Trubner. 
 
 ai^ asjj/ \xifly. 
 
 aai, as a with ea in far-reaching^. 
 
 au, as ow in now. 
 
 aaUy as a with m mfar rtiliitg. 
 
 eUy as eyo in beyo7td, or ayo in crayon. 
 
 iu, as ee with on in see you. 
 
 oi, as oy in boy. 
 
 uiy nearly as in Louis. 
 
 ooi^ as in cooing. 
 
 sze or sz' is a mere buzz, with scarcely any vowel sound. 
 
IV ' ^"^ ENGLISH AND CANTONESE DICTIONARY. 
 
 The use of short u in many cases where the other Dictionaries 
 have short a is to prevent a habit which EngHsh learners are very 
 liable to get into of pronouncing, for example, ^^ 'mun,' people, 
 exactly the same as the English word *man'; ^ 'Fut,' Buddha, 
 the same as the English word ' fat,' &c. The broader Scotch a 
 is a little nearer the Cantonese, but -^^ is in any case not ' f^in ' 
 but 'fun.' 
 
 The double « is a little different from double o. ' Kau-loon ' 
 should be written Kau-luung, the second syllable being indeed 
 quite different from the English ' lung,' yet not by any means the 
 same as the Scotch 'loon.' 
 
 Words ending in 7^e (u) often vary in Canton so as to be not 
 distinguishable from words ending in uiy but it is an exaggera- 
 tion to make ^* ^/it^e rhyme with TH^ ^s/iui. 
 
 The only vowel used with a diacritical mark is 0/ and it is 
 of rare occurrence. I cannot accept, even on the authority of 
 Mr. Parker, this vowel as a substitute for eu in sheung, sheiik, Sec. 
 There is some truth in the suggestion, but if sheung gives too 
 much of a diphthong, shong gives too little. Considering that 
 BK long and ^^ leung rhyme with each other in the universal 
 language of China, it would seem almost better to write the 
 Cantonese sounds /d?;/^ and /(?£?;/^, than to introduce the peculiar 
 ^', which, after all, does not represent the Cantonese perfectly. 
 However, students may take Mr. Ball's shong, lofig^ &c, as a 
 warning not to exaggerate the diphthong. 
 
 The S Tones. — -There are only eight regular tones in the 
 Chinese language, and even these are not all found in many 
 dialects. The uppex-ifiries of tones is printed in Italics, and the 
 lower series in Roman letters. Syllables printed in Italics 
 must always be pronounced on a higher key than the others. 
 (i) SyUajles without any tonal mark are in the 'even' tone. 
 
DIRECTIONS. 
 
 (2) Those with a tonal mark ( ^ ) on the upper left corner are in the 
 * rising ' tone. (3) Those with a tonal mark ( "^ ) on the upper right 
 corner are in the ' going ' tone. (4) And words ending in k^ p, or / 
 are in the ' abrupt ' tone ; that is to say, they end in a close consonant 
 which cannot be sung out. It seems to me that the first tone 
 might more properly be called the ' natural ' and the third the 
 *even' tone; for the third or 'going' tone resembles a note of 
 music which continues at the same pitch. It begins rather lower 
 than the first, but does not drop at all. 
 
 The following is an example of the eight tones applied to 
 what the Chinese regard as one syllable (/ being only a modifica- 
 tion of 71) : — 
 
 
 UPPER SERIES. 
 
 LOWER SERIES. 
 
 
 Will i((uii^-. 
 
 
 Williams. 
 
 2p even 
 
 i^ ?H/.M ^wan 
 
 ^ wun

 Y rising 
 
 ^ /rwi wan 
 
 5^ SvLin

 tiS ^^'^^'^ ^^^^ 
 
 M ^^^^^^^' 
 
 wan" 
 
 y^ abrupt 
 
 J^ icut wat^ 
 
 ^ wut 
 
 wat^ 
 
 ^Idditional Tones:— ^o^ are indebted to Mr. E. H. Parker for 
 first calling attention to other tones, besides the above eight, 
 which occur in Canton Colloquial. 
 
 First, there are three even tones instead of two, the upper- 
 most one being a sort of cry. A typical case is ^inaau^ a cat, the 
 name being an imitation of its cry. These uppermost even tones 
 are distinguished in this Edition of the Cantonese Dictionary by 
 a tonal mark on the lower left corner of the syllable in addition 
 to its being printed in Italics. I have been guided entirely by a 
 Cantonese Teacher in this and the following distinctions of tones. 
 
 Second, there are three abrupt tones instead of two, the 
 middle one being about as much lower than the one above as 
 the upper ' going ' tone is lower than the upper ' even.' This 
 
VI ENGLISH AND CANTONESE DICTIONARY. 
 
 lowering of the upper fourth tone takes place almost invariably 
 in connection with long or broad vowels. The first tonal exercise 
 familiar to most beginners affords an example of it — 
 
 8in Sin Sin Sit . 
 
 The i being long (= ee) the fourth tone follows the cadence 
 of the third; so that this middle fourth tone is appropriately 
 marked like the third. What is probably the normal upper fourth 
 tone is heard where the vowel is short, as in — 
 
 Sing Sing Sing Silc. 
 
 Third, all the tones, except perhaps the upper even and the 
 upper abrupt, are liable to be changed into an exaggerated rising 
 tone; the initial letter a.1 way s foil ovy i n |3 - t ] ^fi , laVflPf^^ -tniLe^xiL^tli (^ 
 wori and the raising of^the^ voice CQUxm^ncing from that pitch 
 whaiev^r it. may be. This exaggerated rising tone is indicated 
 by an asterisk on the upper left side of the syllable. For example, 
 the character ^^ (near) has three pronunciations according to 
 the shades of meaning, kan\ ^k'an, and *kan\ The last is to 
 commence like the first and has no aspirate (') but it rises even 
 more than the second. 
 
 It is well to keep in mind that the lower even and the lower 
 rising tones always take the aspirate after ch, k^ p, t, and ts^ 
 while the lower 'going' tone never takes it, and the lower abrupt 
 tone seldom. There is some little help in this to a foreigner in 
 distinguishing so many tones. 
 
 More than nine-tenths of the characters given as equivalents 
 of English words in this Dictionary will answer equally well for 
 the general language of China ; and I have thought it well with 
 this in view to substitute authorized characters for pg 'm, 
 P^ ke^^ ^ Sno, P^^ lai, &c. in many cases while retaining 
 the colloquial sounds. It seems a little absurd to write |^ for 
 ^lai,' to come, when the proper character ^ 'loi' is pronounced 
 
DIRECTIONS. VII 
 
 ' lai ' in other dialects. This sort of thing, like the multiplication 
 of ' easy wenli ' versions of the Scriptures, will in the end only 
 multiply difficulties. 
 
 This Dictionary was from the first intended for English people 
 rather than Chinese, and those who consult it are requested, if 
 they fail to find any particular English word, to look for a 
 synonym or an approximate synonym ; and to learn to form parts 
 of speech themselves from the material given, thus : — 
 
 Adjectives may be formed at pleasure by adding ke^ to nouns 
 and verbs. 
 
 V.erbs may often be formed by placing ^ching or tso^ before 
 adjectives, as V^/;/^-paak, to whiten. 
 
 Sometimes an alternative pronunciation of a syllable is given 
 in parentheses which will generally be found equally or more 
 colloquial. For example, under * Adjoin,' foo^^-kan^ (^k^an), is an 
 abbreviated way of saying, foo^-kan^, or foo^-'^k'an.
