Grass-Mud Horse Lexicon: Pinyin Index

This page is organized in pinyin (Chinese romanization) order. For example, the entry “grass-mud horse” is under the letter “C” for caonima and appears with first the Chinese characters, then the pinyin and the English (i.e. 草泥马 (caonima) grass-mud horse). Pinyin is ordered by syllable: ex. the entry for chayao ji comes before Chai na, as the first syllables are cha and chai, respectively. This is further ordered by the order of the tones: hence entries beginning with “fǎn” precede those starting with “fàn,” etc.
