Word: phantonym Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From phant(om) + -onym, with self-aware influence from antonym; Macmillan Dictionary reports that corpus searches have found that the word seems to have been coined several times [probably independently], with several meanings all related to wordplay, accidental gaps, or catachresis, as long ago as 1993 (by Irwin M. Berent, referring to comical neologisms such as bebig, analogous to embiggen) and most recently in 2009, by Jack Rosenthal, as an -onym term for words whose sound or appearance makes them liable to be used catachrestically. Pronunciation: /ˈfæntənɪm/ 1. A word that appears to mean one thing but actually means something else. Such terms are predisposed toward catachrestic use (including malapropisms) by speakers and writers. Example: High-school juniors across the country, facing their first Preliminary SAT exams, are engrossed in improving their vocabulary. Here's a thought that might help: A word that means the opposite of another is an antonym; a word that looks as if it means one thing but means quite another could be called a phantonym, and warrants wariness. ¶ Phantonyms pop up in the usage of even so careful a speaker as President Obama. As William Safire noted in March, when the president said that he wanted the American people to have "a fulsome accounting" for his stimulus program, he meant full, whereas to punctilious authorities the word means disgusting, excessive, insincere. […] Likewise, noisome does not mean noisy but smelly, unhealthful. […] Enormity does not mean enormous but great wickedness, a monstrous act.

Word: Tun-huang Part of Speech: name Etymology: From Mandarin 敦煌 (Dūnhuáng) Wade–Giles romanization: Tun¹-huang². 1. Alternative form of Dunhuang. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: We can more suitably compare Bamian with the caves of the thousand Buddhas in Tun-huang in the Nan-shan. Example: Tun-huang owes its importance to being the gate of China opening to the West. To the north at An-hsi the route divides to traverse the Lop and Taklamakan deserts. The oasis in which it lies is formed by irrigation of the water from the melted snows of the Altyn Tagh mountains to the south. As soon as the land route to the West was opened Tun-huang began to gather wealth from the Han dynasty, and in the reign of Fu Chien of the Former Ch'in dynasty (A.D. 357-84) a beginning was made with the dedication of the first of the Caves of the Thousand Buddhas (Ch'ien Fo-Tung) which have been excavated in a conglomerate scarp some ten miles north of the Tun-huang city in the far west of Kansu.
Word: Ha-mi Part of Speech: name Etymology: From Mandarin 哈密 (Hāmì), Wade–Giles romanization: Ha¹-mi⁴. 1. Alternative form of Hami. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: From early childhood this second Ma had heard such unbelievable stories about the Ha-mi melons grown in Sinkiang that he was at last setting out to see them for himself. Sipping tea at a roadside inn, the two passed the time of day and soon waxed friendly. "So far as our Iron Bridge is concerned," stated the Ma of Lan-chou, "it is the highest yet. At this date last year a man fell over the side and, when I left, his body had not yet reached the water." "H-m-m," murmured the Ma of Ha-mi. "Yes, that's high. But as far as our melons are concerned, you are wasting your time traveling all the way to Ha-mi to see them. They grow to such a size, you know, that by this time next year they will be with you in Lan-chou." Sinkiang (Hsin-chiang) has often been called the "New Dominion," and to Chinese, exaggerations notwithstanding, this "new" frontier land has for centuries been full of the wonderful, the picturesque, the bizarre, the new. In the olden days one who brought Ha-mi melons to the capital of the Middle Kingdom would merit special favor, and even today the clippers that soar across Northwest China from Sinkiang to Szechwan inevitably carry a few, now and then, as rare delicacies for the people of Chungking. Example: In a close examination of Hsü Chin's account, even though the restoration of Ha-mi by force in later 1495 highlighted his effort in reclaiming the influence of the Ming dynasty in that area, his real concern and effort as reflected in his writing was on achieving permanent peace in that area.

Compared with the world's entire output, nineteen million tons constitute only one-fiftieth part of it, while the coal produced by purely Chinese mines is only one one-hundredth part. Example: Pai-yun-shan mine (白雲山鉄鉱), 29°56'N latitude and 115°05'E longitude is about 20 kilometers northwest of the town of Yang-hsin (陽新).
