Talk:霸薯

巴薯?

@Mar vin kaiser 菲律賓咱人話研究 says it's 巴薯 (pa³³ tsi¹³). Is that a mistake? — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 04:00, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

@Justinrleung Hi! 菲律賓咱人話研究 seems to be wrong here. Since the word is actually pronounced pa⁵⁵ tsi¹³, instead of pa³³ tsi¹³. So that's why I made the character substitution. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 04:34, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

@Justinrleung There are actually many instances where that dissertation wrongly transcribes the pronunciation of words. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 04:35, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

@Mar vin kaiser: Ah, I see. Thanks! I'm also wondering if this word has anything to do with patatas. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 04:37, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

@Justinrleung: Yes, it a likely etymology. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 04:41, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
