Radical Index to Li Fanwen's Tangut Dictionary

《夏漢字典》檢字索引

INTRODUCTION

This page is an electronic version of the Radical Index to Li Fanwen's Tangut Dictionary [XHZD] (pages 1088-1166) :

• Li Fanwen 李範文. Xia-Han Zidian 夏漢字典. Beijing : Zhongguo Shehui Kexue Chubanshe 中國社會科學出版社, 1997.

As I have been working from a photocopy of the Radical Index and the Four-Corner Index, with only occasional access to the main body of the dictionary, there are a number of issues with the index entries that I have not yet been able to check against the body of the text, so this page should be considered a work in progress.

Fonts

The following fonts must be installed on your system in order to view the Tangut characters and radicals on this page :

• Mojikyo M202 and M203 fonts
• BabelStone Tangut Radicals font Version 1.01 (a makeshift font that covers Tangut radicals, as well as some XHZD characters that are not in the Mojikyo fonts)

You will also need a good general-purpose Unicode font to display the phonetic reconstructions correctly (e.g. Doulos SIL).

INDEX OF RADICALS

Arrangement of Radicals

The table of radicals at the head of the Radical Index in XHZD is based on number of strokes (1 through 9+) and first stroke type (dot, horizontal, vertical and oblique). I have found this arrangement rather inconvenient to use for nearly 400 radicals, especially as some radicals that are based on a simpler radical form are not included in the table of radicals (e.g. Radicals 11-17). I have therefore devised a different method of ordering the radicals in the Index of Radicals below (this does not affect the arrangement of the radicals within the actual Radical Index), based on simple radical elements that are common to a group of radicals.

• Radicals with Horizontal First Stroke
• Radicals with Vertical First Stroke
• Radicals with Oblique First Stroke
• Radicals with Dot First Stroke
• Radicals with Horizontal-Bend First Stroke
• Radicals with Oblique-Bend First Stroke

The Index of Radicals includes all glyph shapes that could be considered as a radical, even where these have been merged into a single radical in the actual Radical Index (e.g. the three sub-radicals of Radical 1).
