General
Information is based on dictionaries and other sources. Pinyin readings reflect standard Mandarin usage; for some dialect alternative names it may be of little practical use, especially for South China. Many Korean glosses are highly tentative. Comments and corrections welcome.
The members of this group are named after the 鹬 'snipe' in the Chinese names. In Taiwan they are named after the plovers (鸻 ).
