@Wyang I can't seem to figure out what the right tones are for this. [1] — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 00:12, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

@Justinrleung I've corrected it. She's using sé for 四 though, but I don't think she is correct. Wyang (talk) 03:57, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

@Wyang: Alright, thanks! — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 03:58, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

@Wyang I just checked 福州方言詞典, and its entry for 五零四散 has /ŋu³³⁻²¹ liŋ⁵³ si²¹³⁻⁵³(ɛi) saŋ²¹³/, so maybe sé could be right? — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 04:23, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

@Justinrleung Could be, although Dictionary of the Foochow Dialect only has sé̤ṳ-hāi-cĭ-nô̤i 四海之內 and sé̤ṳ-hāi-hĭng-dâ̤ 四海兄弟, not *sé-hāi 四海. The 五 in both words is using its literary reading ngū. Wyang (talk) 04:32, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

@Wyang: Okay then, thanks again! — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 04:35, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
