A network composed of two sets of uniformly spaced parallel lines, usually intersecting at right angles and forming squares, superimposed on a map, chart, or aerial photograph, to permit identification of ground locations by means of a system of coordinates and to facilitate computation of direction and distance. The term is frequently used to designate a plane-rectangular coordinate system superimposed on a map projection, and usually carries the name of the projection; e.g., Lambert grid. Not to be confused with graticule. e. A systematic array of points or lines; e.g., a rectangular pattern of pits or boreholes used in alluvial sampling.

Category:CJKV characters simplified differently in Singapore

Singapore proposed its own version of simplified characters in 1969. While quite many of them are identical to the simplified characters later proposed by the PRC, some of them are actually unique characters that weren't used elsewhere. With the adoption of the PRC list of simplified characters, these have fallen out of use.

Showing up as square box
This character is showing up as a square box. 71.66.97.228 21:26, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Image added. -- Liliana • 21:38, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you; I thought I had every possible CJKV package, including very rare Vietnamese chu nom. Are there more packages I need to get in order to see this? 71.66.97.228 21:39, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

 * There is this package which includes some of the most obscure Han characters out there. -- Liliana • 21:45, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you; is it free and how do I get the fonts? I cannot read Japanese. 71.66.97.228 21:46, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Yes, it is free. The download link is halfway down (really just search for "zip" and it should be the first result), open up the downloaded ZIP, extract its contents and install the fonts. -- Liliana • 21:49, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

I've got it; thank you! 71.66.97.228 22:02, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

I put both font packages into my fonts, but they are not showing up alphabetically under "Hana," even after computer restart. I wonder if they have a different name. And this entry's title is still showing up as an empty square box. 71.66.97.228 22:36, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
 * That is odd. Do they show up in the font list? Tried removing and reinstalling the fonts? -- Liliana • 22:44, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

I tried it again and now the fonts are in my Fonts folder, but this character is still showing up as an empty square box. Maybe I will have to restart my computer or browser again. 71.66.97.228 22:45, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

 * The browser probably won't update itself after a change in fonts, so yeah, try restarting it. (What browser do you use, anyway?) -- Liliana • 22:48, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

I am using Chrome. I still see this character as an empty square box. 71.66.97.228 20:12, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Hmm, I do not use Chrome, so I do not really know how to help you. Possibly ask in the WT:GP? -- Liliana • 20:26, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

I went into the tools of Chrome and changed a bunch of fonts around. This character is always a square box (the new font is not catching it, somehow, though I have it), unless I set the new font (letter "B") as my default font--then it shows up properly. That screws up viewing everything else, though. 71.66.97.228 20:51, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Those characters can really be troublesome. I added a hack to my CSS to help this, but thta's not an option for an IP; however Chrome might support user CSS (I just glimpsed at Google), which would allow a similar thing. I really don't know how to set that up, though. -- Liliana • 20:56, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Image too big
The size of the image scares me just like 𫝽 did. Is there a way to reduce the image's size? Thanks in advance. --Lo Ximiendo 05:47, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Now it is 75 pixels. 71.66.97.228 05:56, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, but I find 40 pixels very safe to look at for me. --Lo Ximiendo 06:00, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * P.s. I might find 75 pixels safe to look at for characters like 𫔭. (It's the same radical.) --Lo Ximiendo 06:03, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Talk:ladyboy

This definition of a ladyboy does not describe a ladyboy. A ladyboy is more accurately described as someone who was born male, but has the mind of a female. It is not necessarily intersex, but referred to as transgender. Intersex is not the same as transgender. Please change the definition to include the specifying word "transgender woman". Ladyboy is a less harsh way of saying the very offensive synonym "shemale".

Talk:달리다

Etymology
Isn't this derived from the causative of 닫다 (tat-, "to run"), which Starostin associated with Tungus-Manchu *tut[a]- (бежать - to run), Japanese 漂う [ただよう] (плавать - to float) (Starostin et al., 2003, pg. 1466)? Hbrug 00:32, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Judging from the Middle Korean form, I think the etymology is misplaced, so I've moved it to 닫다. Hbrug 00:47, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Needs a link to 달다
Needs a link to 달다, in its "hang, hoist, attach ..." sense. Today I don't know how to make a Related Terms entry. W3steve (talk) 04:07, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Needs two etymologies?
Today there is only one etymology, but it seems to me that there are two words here: Alas, I don’t know enough to make the changes.
 * 1) to run, to move quickly  (<< 닫다 run)

gand
the old form was gans or gand --Backinstadiums (talk) 15:31, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

i thought it was us pinching them
So the verb goose isnt from us pinching the bottoms of geese to determine their sex? I can readily believe that i was wrong, but i do still wonder if this is one of those terms that has changed its meaning as farming has receded and most of our encounters with animals are in playful situations, and that in our modern safety we might find it amusing that the geese have managed to get us back with the very same thing we've long been doing to them. Even so, a pinch > pinch derivation is more straightforward than bite > pinch, so Im not wholly convinced i was mistaken. — Soap — 10:55, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Possible obsolete slang sense: to ruin or spoil

Talk:ngỗng

Sino-Vietnamese
How can this not be Sino-Vietnamese when all databases say it is derived from 鵝? 71.66.97.228 05:55, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Because of confusion of Sino-Vietnamese readings and the native equivalents of the Chinese words (which is common in Han-Viet dictionaries; Some of my S-V dictionaries even have "người" as a reading of 人). For 鵝, Hán Nôm Research Institute gives "nga" as reading. This is the true Sino-Vietnamese readings, as 鵝 only had the rhyme -a in Chinese, never -Vŋ. In contrast, Bảng tra chữ Nôm gives "ngỗng". This is the Chữ Nôm reading, not S-V. ngỗng is the native equivalent of 鵝 [nga]; other Chữ Nôms for ngỗng (𪃍 𪄌 𤞒) are apparently Vietnamese-only, showing that ngỗng is considered as such. Hbrug 06:35, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

This seems very logical and should be made clear at Wiktionary, even if all the other databases and dictionaries are wrong. But you say that the Mon-Khmer ngỗng has some kind of common origin with several ancestral language families? 71.66.97.228 07:27, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

 * I believe that's the case, on the grounds that the evidence is so convincing that if I had access to data in more languages, I might even be able to reconstruct the earliest word form. Hbrug 09:37, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
