Tangut words with initial l- and unexpected -q:

I’m leaving out words with -w and -’, since these couldn’t co-occur with -q.
-q seems to correspond regularly to preinitial s- and l- in most cases. Sometimes it corresponds instead to r- in Japhug, but this is probably due to vacillation of preinitials: Japhug r- can correspond (irregularly, I assume) to Wobzi and Dgebshes l-.
I should look for more cognates with words in l-. Could initial l- have regularly given l- -q? Probably not, and I’m not sure how that would happen phonetically, but it could be worth investigating.

Chongqing Guanyinqiao Sincere Centre Phase II
Chongqing Guanyinqiao Sincere Centre Phase II Project, Chinese Tower Design, Architecture Photos
Sincere Centre Phase II in Guanyinqiao
29 December 2021
Architects: Aedas
Location: Guanyinqiao, Chongqing, China
The Sincere Centre Phase II comprising a Grade-A office tower, a serviced apartment tower and a retail podium, is located in the core area of the Guanyinqiao business district in Chongqing. It is in close proximity to the city’s main arteries, and to its southeast stands Phase I.
Chongqing Guanyinqiao Sincere Centre Phase II Project
The development is shaped by the mountainous terrain of Chongqing. The high-rise office towers are situated in the south, thread by a sweeping retail podium that simultaneous acts as a bridge between Phase I and Phase II as it resolves the 16-height difference between the two sites.
“We hope to create different urban interfaces to graft the development with its surroundings, to provide a plenitude of business formats and experiences, and usher in a new cultural landmark in Chongqing,” Aedas Global Design Principal Kevin Wang said.
The retail podium design is inspired by the image of a crystal hugged by the ocean, composed of transparent glass juxtaposing with the abutting slate stone and metal fins. The same material from Phase I is also proposed for parts of Phase II’s facade to strengthen the visual connections.
The north side of the podium is designed with softer edges to nurture a welcoming atmosphere for users of the apartments, cinema and shopping centre. Using ocean as the motif of the retail mall, the horizontal streamlined facade elements on the retail podium are reminiscent of seawater flow. A sunken atrium, embraced by the podium through arched setback, contains the largest indoor 360 degree individual aquarium in Asia, with which an immersive and experiential shopping experience is created.
“We hope the energy of this marine-themed 24-hour multi-functional center providing unique experiences will reverberate across Chongqing and beyond.” — Aedas Executive Director Yao Chun Wen.

The sun rose on day five of the National Holiday, and familial duty led me to spend most of my time amongst the rather mundane surroundings of Yangjiaping杨家坪, the pedestrianised centre of Jiulongpo District九龙坡区.
Not to worry, though, as there are still keen points of interest to keep the reader interested.
On a side note, Jiu-long九龙 uses the same two characters as the Cantonese name of Kowloon in Hong Kong, while the characters in Jiulongpo read like ‘Nine-Dragon-Slopes.’
It’s important to bear in mind that individual districts in Chongqing are almost like cities in their own right, on account of the geographical area they occupy and the dizzying population statistics. The equivalent of Leicester, my home town, could theoretically settle in a neighbourhood in any part of Chongqing.
Unlike English cities, where you usually find one main pedestrianised focal point around the centre, many districts in Chongqing are expansive enough to warrant at least one to themselves. Yuzhong has Jiefangbei, Nanping has Wanda Square, Jiangbei has Guanyinqiao, Shapingba has Three Gorges Square.
Yangjiaping Zoo杨家坪动物园 is the greatest crowd puller in Jiulongpo, but is far from being the only attraction, as the more distant attractions of Grafiti Street, Ba Country Town and Huashengyuan Castles feature in the Baidu top 30 for the city.
Perhaps I should have known better, as I saw the zoo was packed with visitors from the moment the square outside came into view. I luckily managed to find a small carpark nearby just off a narrow side street I accidentally turned into, and headed towards the main entrance armed with a push chair and feisty two year old.
I’m going to keep this section very brief.
The zoo is good value for a mere 25 Yuan adult ticket, you can see the typical range of animals, and there are pandas kept in decent enclosures, including newborns tourists can look at through glass screens. The grounds are nicely tended, facilities are adequate, and there’s more than enough to keep the visitor interested for half a day.
I can say from personal experience that the panda experience is nowhere near as good as the breeding facility in Chengdu, but you can see them in Yangjiaping if you don’t have the chance to fit Sichuan into your schedule.
My only cause for dissatisfaction is the lack of accessibility for parents with very young children. The underpasses and monorail station entrances have you risk life and limb, and the nearest road crossing is few hundred metres up the road.
Once inside, there are steep mossy steps and long sharp inclines to offer you a good workout, with no alternatives to breaking sweat or simply giving up on the high inner reaches.
There’s an antiquated funfair inside the zoo near the entrance, and it’s better value to fork out 60 Yuan cash for a through ticket giving you the free choice of five rides from a total of eleven.
  Artistic Curiousities
  Yangjiaping Pedestrain Street is only a kilometre or so from the zoo, so it’s feasible to check out both during the same trip.
The monorail trains zip past every few minutes on the tracks that cross the square overhead, and at ground level, you can find some perculiar aethetic additions that give cause to raise eyebrows.
At one end of the square, there is a six foot high sculpture of a crumpled blue and white milk carton by the Chinese dairy brand name Tianyou天友. The recepticle stands upright while the bronze figure of a young boy dangles from the top by his fingertips, the back of his trousers hanging low enough to expose his buttocks.
On another innocuous corner, you might trip over a bronze ninja turtle if you’re not watching your step. I can’t tell which of the quartet it depicts, but the sculpture features one the turtles holding up a manhole cover while he beams out a friendly smile to passers-by.
  Municipality Tree
  Another unusual feature is the blue Incredible Hulk lookalike holding a branch of the native ficus virens tree, known commonly in Chinese as ‘Huang-ge-shu黄葛树,’ or ‘yellow-vine-tree.’
Unknown to many, what the oak is to England, the magnolia to Korea, or the cedar to Lebanon, the huangge is the official tree of Chongqing Municipality, just as the camellia japonica (山茶Shan cha) is the official flower.
I’ll leave some photos of both the tree and flower in the photos below.
This choice of decor is not without precedent. For many a year, the street outside Marriott Hotel was home to a ten foot green
  The name Yangjiaping
  The final point of interest for my post today is a commonality between places names in Chongqing.
杨家坪 Yangjiaping translates as ‘Land of the Yang Family.’ In history, such a clan may have bossed the area once upon a time, and there are many places around Chongqing named in similar fashion, especially for major transport intersections.
Familiar examples are Chenjiawan陈家湾(Chen Family Bay) in Shapingba, Xiejiawan谢家湾 (Xie Family) in Jiulongpo, or Zhaojiaxi赵家溪 (Zhao Family Stream) in Yubei.
    Curiosities of Yangjiaping The sun rose on day five of the National Holiday, and familial duty led me to spend most of my time amongst the rather mundane surroundings of Yangjiaping杨家坪, the pedestrianised centre of Jiulongpo District九龙坡区.

Sino-Tibetan linguistics has a vast proliferation of names for the same things. I should probably standardize the terms I use.
Rgyalrongic (a family within Sino-Tibetan, possibly a subgroup of Qiangic, which is itself possibly a subgroup of Burmo-Qiangic, but I’m not even sure that Qiangic is real) is divided into Western Rgyalrongic (= “Horpa-Khroskyabs”, “Horpa-Lavrung”, “Horpaic”, “Horpa” in an expansive sense) and Core Rgyalrong (= “Rgyalrong”).
I’ll call it Western Rgyalrongic because Guillaume Jacques called it Western Rgyalrong once, and there’s an -ic to further distinguish it from Core Rgyalrong, which in principle should take -ic but doesn’t. “Horpaic” would also be reasonable, but “Horpa” is too close to “Hopi” and “Hupa”, and the term is deprecated anyway.
The Western Rgyalrongic languages are:
Stau (= Rtau, Stowu, Daofu, Ergong)
Dgebshes (= Geshiza, Geshizha, Geshitsa... the Tibetoid form has the advantage of a consistent spelling)
Stodsde (= Shangzhai??)
Khroskyabs, which is likely the most divergent extant Western Rgyalrongic language (so Stau, Dgebshes, and Stodsde are to be grouped together in some unnamed ‘genus’ node), and which has the following dialects, in order from oldest to most recent divergence (following Lai’s grammar of Wobzi):
- ’Jorogs (maintains occlusive codas)
- Phosul (preserves velarized vowels, doesn’t have *-o > e)
the Thugschen dialects:
-- Siyuewu (*-t > -d rather than -0, preserves -æɣ/-ɑɣ/-oɣ)
-- Wobzi (metathesis: ɕW > fɕ, rVCv > vVCr)
-- ’Brongrdzong (*-o > -(w)a)
-- Guanyinqiao
Tangut (= Xixia), which impressionistically seems closer to Stau-Dgebshes than to Khroskyabs
The Core Rgyalrong languages are (basically following Jacques’s bibliography)
Situ
- Cogtse
- Somang
- Btsanlha (I guess I should be consistent and use normal capitalization rather than Wylie for this)
- etc.
Japhug
- Kamnyu = Gdongbrgyad (Jacques says so, but I got the impression from Amritas that these were slightly different... dunno)
- Tatshi
Tshobdun
Zbu
The problem is that it isn’t always clear what’s what - like, what is “Gexi Horpa”? So sometimes I’ll have to use other names because it’s unclear where exactly something should go, or even if it fits into this schema at all.

Chongqing Rail Transit - Wikipedia
Timelapse of the Chongqing Rail Transit.
The Chongqing Rail Transit (branded as CRT) also known as Chongqing Metro, is the rapid transit system in the city of Chongqing, China and has been in operation since the year 2005. The CRT serves transportation needs in the city's main business and entertainment downtown areas and inner suburbs. It is the oldest of the four metro systems in operation in the western China, the others being Chengdu Metro, Xi'an Metro and Kunming Rail Transit which opened in 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.
As of December 2016[update], CRT consisted of four lines, with a total track length of 212.6 km (132.1 mi). Lines 1 and 6 are conventional heavy-rail subways, while Lines 2 and 3 are heavy-capacity monorails. Line 1 is the system's backbone connecting the most densely populated areas including the main Central Business Districts: Jiefangbei, Lianglukou, Daping, and Shapingba. Line 2 runs through four administrative districts in the central city (Yuzhong, Jiulongpo, Dadukou, and Ba'nan). Line 6 runs from Jiangbei to Yubei. A system network of 18 lines in total is planned.
At 98 km (61 mi),[2] the system's two monorail lines form the longest monorail system in the world,[3] with the 55.5 km (34.5 mi) Line 3 being the world's longest single monorail line, even if the 9.97 km (6.20 mi) Airport Branch is excluded.[4][5] The system is also the world's busiest monorail system with 94 million and 250 million annual rides on Line 2 and 3 respectively in 2015.[6] Line 3 is the world's busiest single monorail line. The network also boosts the world's highest metro-only bridge, the Caijia Rail Transit Bridge on Line 6, spanning a valley with the bridge deck approximately 100 meters above water level.[7] The Chongqing Rail Transit is also constructing the world's longest metro-only suspension bridge, the Egongyan Rail Transit Bridge. The bridge will carry Loop Line trains across a 600m long main section spanning the Yangtze River. The total length of the bridge is 1,650 meters long.[8]
History[edit]
The CRT is part of the central government's project to develop the Western regions and the Japan Bank for International Cooperation provided part of the funding.[9] Construction was carried out in cooperation between Changchun Railway Vehicles Co. Ltd. and Hitachi Monorail, using advanced Japanese monorail technology.[10] Construction on Line 2 began in 1999, and it was officially opened in June 2005 from Jiaochangkou (Jiefangbei CBD) to Zoo (Chongqing Zoo).
Planning timeline[edit]
Nationalist government made a plan of high-speed tram system. The rail weighs 47.77 kg/m, with a rail gauge of 1000 mm, a maximum slope of 9%, a minimum radius of curvature of 80 m. The top speed is 25 km/h (16 mph) in the urban area, and 45 km/h (28 mph) in the suburban area. The train is 8-meter-long, 1.8-meter-wide, with two 35-horsepower motors and a trailer. Each train takes 240 passengers. The headway was designed to be 10 minutes. The system was expected to carry 1 million passengers per day. Some of the tracks are underground.
Line A, Longmenhao – Ciqikou, 9 Stations, 14.75 km (9.17 mi)
Line B, Longmenhao – Nanwenquan, 7 Stations, 19.49 km (12.11 mi)
Line C, Longmenhao – Datiankan, 3 Stations, 6.9 km (4.3 mi)
A 100 km-long (62 mi) underground rapid rail transit system which links the city center with Xinpaifang, Xiaolongkan, Yangjiaping, Shiqiaopu, Lianglukou, etc. was planned.
A 12.2 km-long (7.6 mi) subway line (Chaotianmen – Yangjiaping) was planned. This route is the precursor to today's Line 2.
A 55 km-long (34 mi) monorail system was planned.
Chaotianmen – Shapingba (– Shuangbei), the forerunner of Line 1.
Chaotianmen – Xinshancun (– Jiugongmiao), the forerunner of Line 2.
Airport Line: Xinpaifang – Nanping (– Sigongli), the forerunner of Line 3.
Link Line: Yangjiaping – Shiqiaopu.
A refreshed edition of the 1991 plan. The total length is about 119 km (74 mi).
Line 1: Chaotianmen – Shuangbei.
Line 2: Chaotianmen – Jiugongmiao.
Line 3: Jiangbei Airport – Sigongli.
Line 4: Sigongli – Shiqiaopu. (evolved from Link Line in the previous edition)
Line 5: Tongjiayuanzi – Zhongliangshan.
2003 & 2007[edit]
Two similar expanded editions of the 1998 plan. It includes 10 lines with the total length of about 522 km (324 mi). The Line 4 in the previous blueprint received a huge update and was renamed to Loop Line according to its new shape.[11]
The current plan. An expanded edition of the 2007 plan. The length was about 820 km (510 mi). 8 new lines were merged to the plan as well as some minor modifications.[12]
Testing timeline[edit]
These tests left some tunnels, which were re-used in the construction of Lines 1 and 2.
Late 1958. "Yuzhong District Subway Engineering Unit" was started only to be suspended one year later.
1965. "Yuzhong District Subway Engineering Units" was reinstated. It has 4 units including more than 1000 workers in total. The construction was stopped again in Late 1966 due to the Cultural Revolution. The units was officially disbanded again in 1971. The completed tunnel sections were taken over by the Civil Air Defense Department.
1988. Some foreign businessmen arrived to start a metro company located in Lianglukou. The original completed tunnel sections where extended.[11]

Network[edit]
CRT is a unique metro system in China in that a significant number of lines use heavy monorail technology. In a hilly, multiple-river city it is not feasible to construct an all heavy-rail tunnel system given the depths of some many of the stations. For this reason, there are two straddle-beam monorail lines using heavy vehicles. The monorail vehicles with strong climbing capabilities and have rapid transit capacity, capable of transporting 32,000 passengers per hour per direction,[13] invaluable in the densely populated but hilly city. Line 2 is for the most part elevated above streets, although a 2.2 km (1.4 mi) section is underground, including three of its 18 stations in the Jiefangbei CBD and Daping downtown areas in hyper-dense populated area of Yuzhong District. In 2010, Line 2 served 45 million passengers.[14]
Line 1 is the first conventional subway running in a deep bored tunnel below Yuzhong and Shapingba Districts. The other conventional subway is Line 6, which connects the main central business districts of Nanping in Nan'an District and Jiangbei's Guanyinqiao CBD and New City CBD to Jiefangbei CBD.
To keep up with demand, construction is under way on extensions to Line 1 and Line 3, whose primary route is currently under trial. There are also Loop Line and Line 4, 5, 9, 10 under construction.
Map of Chongqing Rail Transit
Line 1 runs 16.4 km (10.2 mi) from Chaotianmen in downtown west to Shapingba, and eventually to Jiandingpo with a length of 38.9 km (24.2 mi). It is the first heavy-rail subway line, the second in Western China. Passenger capacity is 36,000 passengers per hour per direction.
In 1992, the Chongqing government signed a Build-Operate-Transfer agreement with a Hong Kong company and provided the land for the project, but work ceased in 1997 due to legal issues.[11] Work resumed from Chaotianmen to Shapingba on 9 June 2007, and opened to limited operation on 28 July 2011.[15] Thales provided an Operations Control Centre for this line.
Line 1 has 23 stations, including interchange stations with Line 2 at Jiaochangkou in Jeifangbei CBD and at Daping and with Line 3 at Lianglukou, near the Chongqing Rail Station in the Caiyuanba section of central Yuzhong.
Line 2, a monorail line, runs 31.4 km (19.5 mi) and services 25 stations. It begins as a subway under downtown Jiefangbei, then runs west along the southern bank of Jialing River on an elevated line, then turns south into the south-western inner suburbs, looping back east to terminate at Yudong in Ba'nan. It also runs through Daping CBD and Yangjiaping CBD in Jiulongpo District and Chongqing Zoo at Zoo Station. Most trains consist of four carriages, and six-carriage trains began to operate in September 2012.[16] Line 2 is the first rapid transit line to open in the Interior West of China (in 2005). In 2013, six-car trains are being implemented due to overcrowding and increasing demand.[17]
Line 3 runs from north to south, linking the districts separated by the Yangtze (Chang Jiang) and Jialing rivers. The initial segment from Lianglukou to Yuanyang (18 stations, 17.5 km (10.9 mi)) opened on 29 September 2011, with a northern extension from Yuanyang to Jiangbei Airport opening on 30 December 2011[18] and a southern extension from Ertang to Yudong on 28 December 2012.[19]
Most trains consist of six carriages, bigger than on the older Line 2. The line started to equip eight-car trains in 2014 and currently 8 car trains are in operation.[20] There are interchange stations in central Yuzhong district with Line 1 at Lianglukou (Caiyuanba Intercity Railway/Bus Station), and with Line 2 at Niujiaotuo.
Line 6 is the second heavy-rail subway. Opened on 28 September 2012 it connects Nan'an, Yuzhong, and Jiangbei districts in central Chongqing. A northern branch line from Lijia to Wulukou, Beibei district was opened on 31 December 2013,[21] 26.2 km (16.3 mi) long with five stations. The Chayuan extension Phase 1 was opened in 2014. Thales provided an Operations Control Centre for this line.
Service[edit]
Single journey ticket[edit]
Single journey ticket which was released in 2014
Tickets range from CN¥2 (0.3 USD) to ¥7 (1.05 USD) depending on distance. Day passes cost ¥18 (2.71 USD).
Only unused tickets bought on the same day and at the same station can be refunded without explanation. If the train was delayed for over 15 minutes, the tickets may be refunded and a certificate of delay can be acquired.
Transport cards[edit]
CRT accepts Life & Transport Card (Chongqing Universal Card, released by Chongqing City Card Payment Co., Ltd.) and its compatible cards released by partner companies in other cities of China. You can get a 10% discount applied to the Regular Card when used on public transit in the city. You'll only have to pay the higher price when you transfer between buses and metro within 1 hour (not including metro-to-metro, according to the paying time). Regular Card can be purchased at any CRT station and a deposit can be recovered when the card is returned with receipt. In addition the card can be used in many shops, cinemas, restaurant, etc. in Chongqing. Students' Card and Elders' Card can't be directly used in CRT since their monthly fee only covers the buses, unless a cash sub-account which receives a 50%-off discount was added to them at the service points for free.
Time limit[edit]
All trips must be completed in 3 hours upon entering the fare paid area, if a passenger overstayed beyond the allowed time the highest ticket price in the system will be charged in addition.[22]
Operation[edit]
For every terminal or branch terminal, the first train leaves at 6:30 while the last leaves at 22:30.
During times of heavy use such as major events, CRT may close some stations to avoid overcrowding. In 2017, CRT closed Xiaoshizi, Jiaochangkou, Qixinggang, Lianglukou, Shapingba, Xiaolongkan, Linjiangmen, Huaxinjie, Guanyinqiao, Hongqihegou, The Grand Theater, and Shangxinjie Station after 19:00 in Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year Eve.[23]
Equipment[edit]
Free Wi-fi is provided in most platforms and trains of Lines 1 and 6 at 5 GHz. An app called Heikuai (Chinese: 嘿快) will be required.[24]
Accessibility[edit]
Almost every station has accessible elevators and toilets, and almost every train has wheelchair locks. Only the oldest rolling stock and toilets of Line 2 are not fully accessible. In addition, many older interchange channels between lines are not designed with accessibility in mind, which means the disabled have to transfer through the main concourse.[25]
Technology[edit]
Visual design[edit]
Unlike most metro systems of other cities in China, CRT did not follow the design style of MTR Corporation in Hong Kong. The signage system is designed by GK Design Group in Japan and the monorail lines are based on Hitachi Monorail technology, giving the Chongqing Rail Transit a distinctive Japanese aesthetic in contrast to other metro systems in China.[27]
Line theme[edit]
CRT gave each line a theme about local culture, and the stations of the line will have some art works in the theme.[28]
