Talk:沙

Another definition?

Can this also mean "paste," as in 豆沙? 69.81.157.133 11:05, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

The root meaning of 沙 is "sand" or "gravel." In some compound words, it can figuratively refer to anything that has been mashed or ground into paste, such as 豆沙 (mashed up beans). -- A-cai 07:23, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Vietnamese form should probably be "sa"

I think "sa" is better than "vành" for this reading. See http://www.viethoc.org/phorum/read.php?14,18824,page=2 for discussion about this. That site suggests that "vành" is a Chu Nom reading. Unfortunately I don't know how to prove my point. Should I go ahead and change the reading anyway? Daew00t 19:03, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I wonder where someone got vành? The references I looked at all give variations on "sa." 24.93.190.134 05:22, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
