Huá (滑)

Huá (滑)

Huá ( _mu. ) has a few meanings (e.g. smooth/silky/cunning/confusing), but it has also been used simply as a transliteration of the native names of perhaps two ancient tribes who dwelt along the Silk Road. Reconstruction of early Chinese pronunciations is aided by reference to archaic fossilizations preserved in languages like Korean, where the character _ko. 滑 is usually pronounced IPA| [ʍal] (Hangul: _ko. 활, also _ko. 골). In Japanese, the character _ja. 滑 is traditionally annotated as _ja. くわつ (*"Kwat") or rarely as _ja. こつ (*"Kot") and pronounced as "Katsu" in Modern Standard Japanese. In Xiamen (Amoy), where the natives speak a dialect of a very divergent Sinitic language called Min or Fujianese, the character is read as /kut8/. In Cantonese, the character is read as /waat6/ According to Liu Qiyu, Huá ( _zh. 滑) would have been pronounced as Huer/Hwer in Yangtze Delta dialects at the time of the Han Dynasty. Otherwise, the relevant pronunciation of the character _zh. 滑 should have been something like */ghwot/, */ghwor/, */ghwat/, or */ghwar/.
