What is "Sa Luo Wei Qi"?

[edit]

The etymology section claims this Chinese phrase, in what looks like a Pinyin transliteration of some Mandarin word. But I cannot work out what it is even if I am a native Mandarin speaker. Nor is that transliteration very helpful, since there are many different words that sounds the same. If anybody have the referenced books, could you provide also the Chinese characters?

Probably a mistake resulting from different ways of transcribing Chinese. A source gives sa-ro-(k)wai-chi (sa luo gui qi) which might be what is meant by sa luo wei qi. Unless someone else has a different source, I'll put that in. I'll also adjust the text. Hzh (talk) 09:56, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It just occurs to me that someone might have extrapolated it from the Japanese term share'aji and came up with 洒落味氣. Could be an original research. Hzh (talk) 14:37, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
