Name for mugs
Hi all,
In a French newsgroup (fr.soc.culture.chine), we wonder what is the Chinese name for mugs like these: http://www.jvgruat.com/Chine/thes/teamug.jpg Do you have an idea? Thanks beforehand, -- Julien LIE Elle est gentille, mais les pices lui montent facilement au nez... qu'elle a joli d'ailleurs ! (Csar) |

I think the basic noun would be g*ibēi (蓋杯.) The trouble is, this word is also applied to what would more narrowly be called a g*iwǎn. You can distinguish that lidded mug from a g*iwǎn by adding the attributive (more or less the same as an adjective) yǒubǐng (有柄), which means having a handle. But there may well be other ways of saying it... /Lew --- Lew Perin / http://www.panix.com/~perin/babelcarp.html |
