		<description><![CDATA[如果大家看过这个博客，可能已经发现博客的各个标题都用了非标准字体。这种效果是使用 sIFR 3 脚本来实现的。其主要原理就是利用Flash文件可以内嵌自定义字体来自动将页面中的特定文字自动替代（大家在英文标题上右键看看。。。）。诚然对于西方语言来说，要内嵌字体是很容易实现的。对于英文来说就只有26个字母，即使包含大小写、粗体、斜体和粗斜体等变体，文件也不会太大（几个kB ~ 十几kB）。对于其它使用拼音文字的语言来说情况也类似，都能将下载Swf 文件控制在适于网络传输的范围内。然而对于方块字来说就不太现实了。无论怎样压缩，做出来的swf文件都是1MB以上。 由于我的Blog上既有外文条目，也有中文。那有没有什么方法可以让sIFR 3 不处理中文条目呢？开始我想通过设置Flash 里头的css变量font-family，将后备字体列上，希望flash能自动调用本机系统上头的字体。可惜flash 不买账。最后就逼着我改点东东了。 下面是两个判别标题是否含有中文的函数： &#13;function fnFilterChinese( arrList) {&#13; //alert(arrList.length);&#13; var retList = [];&#13; for (var i=0;i=0;g&#8211;){var h=f[g];if(h.type==&#8221;sifr/prefetch&#8221;){h.parentNode.removeChild(h)}}}catch(j){}};function d(f){for(var g=0;g&#8220;:function(O,R){var N=[];for(var Q=0,S;Q]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(音标前面有*号的是古汉语的拟音，请参阅 http://www.eastling.org/tdfweb/midage.aspx) 不知道最近干嘛，对汉语方言特别感兴趣，于是就自己研究起一些粤语的本字来了。有人可能会有这样的感觉，粤语实在是太奇怪了，许多情况下都是有音无字，根本没法在书面表达出来。于是又有人借此诬蔑粤语为“禽声鸟语”，质疑其汉语地位。诚然，粤语中有一些词汇的确来自古代南越语，比如“倒”要说lam3，欺负要说haa1等等。但更多的所谓“独特”粤语词汇都有着汉语来源，只是人们在长期口头使用的过程中将其忘却罢了。比如说广州人常将媳妇称作“心抱 ”(sam1 pou3)，实际上正是古汉语“新妇” (*sjin *böu) 之发音的保留。在比如粤语常说的煲汤的“煲”的本字，其实就是“缶”，只是缶字(*pöu)后来音变，声母从重唇音p 变成了轻唇音 f (比较英语的photo 的拼写和发音, &#8220;ph&#8221; 古希腊语读如汉语p)，于是这个字在文读里头就只能读 &#8220;fou&#8221; 了（普通话）。广州话受北方影响，也将这个字读成了 &#8220;fau&#8221; (au 元音与普通话ou 对应)。然而当其作为动词的时候，由于已经使用多时，而且从前家庭主妇文化水平不高，因此就保留了中古汉语的pou的发音，至今仍然这样读。所以可以这样说，越“俗”的白读音，尤其是那些有音、知道意思、但是却不知道本字的白读音往往包含了中古甚至上古汉语的发音。所以可以说这些都是宝贝活化石啊。 说完了开场白，开始进入正题了。以前小时候跟妈妈去买烧鹅，人家会问：“你爱上saak3定下saak3啊？”，意思就是“你要鹅的上半身还是下半身啊？”。通常，一只烧鹅会被分成4份，其中两份带翅膀，两份带腿。这样的每一份就叫一saak3，带翅膀的叫上saak3，带腿的叫下saak3。那么，到底这个如此独特的粤语量词，它的本字应该是什么呢？ 首先按照saak3的发音查阅字典（http://arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-can/），发现现代广州话读saak3音的有：索, 摵, 愬, 栜, 拺 这些字。在核对意思后没有发现切合上文意思的。其实这也不出所料，因为随着时间流逝，发音很可能会发生变化，比如新妇原来读 san pou, 但是受到第二个字声母p闭口的同化作用，san 的韵尾 n 就变成了m。那么有可能是从什么音变来的呢？要知道这个，我首先假设其韵母和声调比较稳定，而可能是声母起了变化。猛然间，我就想起了不久前读到的另一个字的典故 － 胳。 胳字经过语音学家研究，在上古汉语时代读作[*kraag]，到了中古的时候，中间的这个介音r消失了（顺便说说，上古汉语很可能跟藏语以及印欧语一样，具有类似大舌颤音这样的音的，下次我练习意大利语的时候不要说我变态啊，因为咱们祖先也会说r的啊。），于是变为[*kaak]，这也是现代粤语胳的发音。粤语称“胳肢窝”叫做 [kaak laak 底]，但是一直以来，[kaak laak]两个字怎么写却没人知晓。我读的这篇文章就提出，实际上 kaak laak 是连绵词（如“蝴蝶”等），实际上就是把上古汉语的胳kraag字分开成了两个音节kaak laak来读，颤音因为在后来的中文中不存在了，被接近的另一个流音[l]代替。这从意思上解释也是天衣无缝的，因为胳膊的底部正是腋窝所在，因此胳肢窝在粤语里头就应该写作“胳底”，但须读成三个音节。 好了，又扯远了。那么，既然烧鹅的saak3 明显与其肢体相关，那会不会这个saak3也是胳字的音变呢？我想这是很有可能的，原因是 k 声母容易”腭化“而形成擦音。举个通俗的例子，北京的京现在普通话读 &#8220;jing&#8221; (接近于国际音标[tsiŋ]，但是成阻后一点)，但是英文译文是Pekin。实际上就是因为不久前这个字还是读 [kiŋ]。因为k 成阻的部位是软腭，而[ts]的部位是硬腭，实际上就是成阻向前移，叫做腭化。所以，[kaak] 有可能腭化成[tsaak]，进而打头的t丢失，那不就成了[saak]了吗! 而且从词义上看，以上胳、下胳作为分烧鹅的量词，应该也说的通。 但是转念一想，又有漏洞。因为k [...]]]></description>
