renzhe Posted February 10, 2010 at 02:20 PM Report Posted February 10, 2010 at 02:20 PM That's what my ear tells me. I'll have to listen more closely next time. I don't remember hearing a rising tone on "hu" in the Wuxia series I've seen, but then again, I wasn't really paying attention to that either. Quote
chrix Posted February 10, 2010 at 02:23 PM Author Report Posted February 10, 2010 at 02:23 PM it's hard going by ear, unless you can find a place where they stress the word. If the word is in unstressed position, it could very well sound as though it were neutral. The dictionary at least has it as a full tone. Quote
imron Posted February 11, 2010 at 12:20 PM Report Posted February 11, 2010 at 12:20 PM I also lean towards jiānghú. I'm fairly sure I do remember hearing it with a rising tone. Quote
renzhe Posted February 11, 2010 at 12:37 PM Report Posted February 11, 2010 at 12:37 PM It is jiānghú. I think I had a song about jianghu stuck in my ear, and it messed with my tones. Quote
roddy Posted February 11, 2010 at 12:40 PM Report Posted February 11, 2010 at 12:40 PM it's hard going by ear, unless you can find a place where they stress the word. 2:55 to 3:00. The ABC has a neutral tone variant, the 规范 doesn't. Quote
