川

Rfv-sense: (1) "(of water) to flow"; (2) "to boil food for a short time in water". Dokurrat (talk) 15:57, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

Sense 2 is verifiable: [1]. However it is clearly a alternative form or misspelling of 汆 (cuān) and definition needs to be revised.--Zcreator (talk) 19:03, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

@Zcreator If it is only used as 川燙／川烫 (chuāntàng), then sense 2 is still problematic. Dokurrat (talk) 00:12, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Also: [2]--Zcreator (talk) 10:38, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

• Rfv closed, "(of water) to flow" failed, "to boil food for a short time in water" kept. Dokurrat (talk) 12:21, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

  @Dokurrat: I don't see any citations under the sense or in a citations page. Perhaps you may want to add some. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 21:39, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

  @Justinrleung: Ough, sometimes when I think there is some kind of widespread-ness and I want to be lazy, I do pronunce rfv closed for kept without citing... Well, I'll go and find 'em. Dokurrat (talk) 21:43, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

  @Justinrleung: I've found 3 citations for this sense. Dokurrat (talk) 06:13, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

  @Dokurrat: Thanks, looks good! RFV closed. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 07:23, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
