Word: Hoklo Part of Speech: name Etymology: Borrowed from a southern Chinese lect; compare Cantonese 學佬／学佬 (hok6 lou2), Hakka 學佬／学佬 (Ho̍k-ló), Hokkien 福佬 (Ho̍h-ló). The Hailufeng variety sense is influenced by Hong Kong Cantonese 學佬 /学佬 (hok⁶ lou²). 1. Taiwanese, the variety of Hokkien spoken in Taiwan and the native language of the Hoklo. Example: The revivalists’ goal is not only to keep Hoklo alive, but also to make it capable of challenging the hegemony of Mandarin Chinese as the officially defined "national language." For revivalists who advocate the complete alphabetization of Hoklo, traditional Chinese characters represent antiquated, unwholesome “feudalism,” and by contrast, the romanization system is a symbol of modernity. Using phonetic script to write Hoklo, they believe, will not only facilitate the felicitous expression of the Hoklo Taiwanese mind, but would also grant the less-ducated an easier access to various kinds of modern knowledge. Example: Huang, 45, was born in Sanhsia in Taipei County, but grew up in Taipei City speaking Mandarin and Hoklo (more commonly known as Taiwanese). 2.

Word: epitype Part of Speech: noun 1. An additional, clarifying type (specimen or illustration) of a species or lower-order taxon, provided when the holotype and paratypes from the original classification are demonstrably ambiguous or insufficient. Example: It is clear, therefore, where any epitype, selected as an interpretive type, should be sought. The selection of an epitype, in the absence of type or authentic material, would be important, for any further molecular work will need to have available a culture of the type species of the genus which has some nomenclatural standing, i.e. a culture derived from the epitype. Example: The epitype does not displace the primary type it is to interpret, but rather supplements it. 2. An epigenetic alteration in a gene. Example: To test this hypothesis our discussion is focused on finding evidence for gene-specific epitypes that supports or rejects cause-and-effect relationships between genotype, epitype and phenotype.[…]The first approach (A) examines the penetrance of transgenerationally inherited epitypes that are known to activate or silence the expression of disease related gene(s), which in turn correlate with onset of the "aberrant" disease phenotypes.[…]The second and less direct approach (B) searches out epitypes that are duplicated, as DNA sequences are duplicated, and examines multiple copies of DNA sequence and epitype that have been evolutionarily co-conserved.
