Khix

Khix 🔊 (khi3) can refer to a few ideas:

去 (depart)

• 去: to go/to drop; to throw away

Usage Note

khix is an exception to the normal tone sandhi rules. It's pronounced in the high short tone (KQchiog-Ym) when followed by another word. For example, in "Lie beq khix tøfui 🔊?", the khix is spoken as khih (as if it was originally khiq.) Normally, a Tone 3 (Low Falling Tone, Extut-Ym) word will change into Tone 2 (Shouting-Out Tone, Sioxngtut-Ym). Note: beq (bøeq) is yet another exception.
