 * I've gone back and added it into the shen2 list, hopefully in the correct sequence. Still bothers me that it wasn't there to begin with. It was present under shi2 - perhaps characters with more than one sound were added only once? Shenme 05:28, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

Talk:ghit

Interesting thing about this word is how it seems to be most commonly used by linguist-type folk; this is probably due to its regular use on Language Log. —Muke Tever 15:40, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

This was invented by Trevor of kalebeul. Mark Liberman reads Trevor, and he got it from him. It's typical of language bloggers to read each other. It's typical of Trevor to invent a term without making a song and dance about it. It's odd that someone quoted Language Log here without quoting the entry of 9 February 2004 acknowledging the authorship!
