Thanks, Tim. That mark "R" does give me that sort of impression, that is, Douglas knew that Chinese character.
Douglas says the name for that stinking insect is chhiū-būi, or maybe colloquially chhiū-gūi. The first character clearly should be "树". Mr. Yang Jingtao tells me that in Minnan, people call this kind of insect "jiō-pūi" or "chhiŭ-gŭi"(seems already different from what Douglas has recorded down), and he proposes a character for that sound pūi/būi, i.e. 蜚. According to Emperor Kangxiˊs Dictionary,
蜚【集韻】【韻會】父沸切,音屝。【爾雅·釋蟲】蜚,蠦蜰。【疏】蜚,越之所生,其爲蟲臭惡,南方淫氣之所生也。《本草》曰:蜚,厲蟲也,然則蜚是臭惡之蟲,害人衣物,故《春秋左氏傳》有蜚不爲災,亦不書也。
According to the Middle Chinese phonology, 父沸切 indicates that the then onset of this character is a voiced consonant 奉母, while the rhyme part 沸 belongs to 止摄合口三等去声未韵, hence the naturally derivative modern sound pūi.
Some characters with low-pitch tones in modern Teochew (perhaps in Hokkien as well) will somewhat change the unvoiced labial onset to a voiced one, such as 妇bóu 蝠be̍k/bi̍k 齿巴bà 痱bùi, and this 蜚 pūi/būi seems to stand as another good example. |
