Do palatalized initials exist in third-division rimes and do medials exist in fourth-division rimes in Ancient Chinese? What actually are the differences between the fan-ch'ieh doublets in third-division rimes? All controversies regarding these questions will be resolved if we analyze the fan-ch'ieh's in Chi-yün. In the series of rime-books related to the Ch'ieh-yün─the Kuang-yün and the Complete Manuscripts of Wang-yün, in particular─the initial letter which appears in all four division rimes has two different groups of fan-ch'ieh first-words: the first-, second- and fourth-divisions form one group (Group A); and the third division forms the other (Group B). These 2 groups remain distinct most of the time with only a few exceptions. |
