	I have been compiling a list of the chinese radicals and their

	equivalent and differing usages in other asian languages and 
	chinese dialects/languages.

	I still have some gaps in my list despite going thru several 
	dictionaries -

	I have a conversion table of the various transliteration schemes
	of cantonese into roman chars. so please let me know if you 
	do - whether yr translit. schema is Yale StanleyLau My B-c etc

	These are the words I need to find - 

	R. 8 the lid -- in a reprint of an old missionary dictionary 
			I found a note that its called t'au or luk 
			can anyone confirm this?

	r.17 the HOLE  - is this KAM?KAN written with a different character
			in modern writing?

	r.22 are there cantonese words meaning the following - 

		hong - hollow  or hop - box?

	r.23 is HIde/conceal ni or an in cantonese?

	26 - the joint/section/node - one dictionary says tsit ?!
		whats the modern cantonese equivalent of jie in manadarin?

	27 the cliff or slope wide - han or guang in mandarin = ?

	89 - mix shears yao = ??

	105 outspread or climbing legs / climb = ?

	if talking about calligraphy which cantonese term would you use
	to describe r.162 - walk "long foot" cho 

	r.204 zhi or feng - to sew = cantonese ?

	r. 205 what is the cantonese term for frog toad or amphibian?
		Min meng or mian ???

	If you can help please email 	jvaux@metz.une.edu.au
