Separation of Mandarin and Korean in Etymology 1[edit]
As we can see, the English language word Jin has numerous etymologies. One etymology of Jin is from Mandarin via the character 晉 read as ㄐㄧㄣˋ/jìn. Another is the Korean origin via the character 晉 read as 진. These are two separate etymologies since Jin in Mandarin represents ㄐㄧㄣˋ /t͡ɕin⁵¹/ and Jin in Korean represents 진 [t͡ɕin]. I plan to attempt to split these two etymologies. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 17:51, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
- I effected the split described here by partitioning etymology 1 into etymology 1 and 2, where etymology 1 is Mandarin and etymology 2 is Korean. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 12:11, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
