蹺敧, 本作蹊蹺, 蹺蹊

蹺蹊, 愚以為不妨從俗, 逕讀 kiu1 kei1 (畸), 至少也保留雙聲讀 kiu1 kai1 (溪).

蹺與蹊, 疑本皆 h 聲母, 訛變為 k. 再加之變調, 而成今日的讀法. 查粵語審音配詞字庫, 學者對兩字所擬訂的讀音, 連同異讀, 幾無一與今人的習慣對應, 可見變化之大.

蹊徑, 蹊 讀 兮 hai4.
蹺腳, 蹺 讀 kiu5; 蹺起腳, kiu2, kiu3
蹺課, 蹺 讀 kiu5, hiu3 / 囂 hiu1?
蹺起 (一鑊蹺起/地板蹺起), 蹺 讀 hiu3, kiu5

蹺蹺板, 不妨從俗逕讀 搖搖板.
踩高蹺/蹻/趫, 自然變調讀 kiu2.

So much war


Virgil.
C Day Lewis trs.

Georgics Book 1, p.68
For Right and Wrong are confused here, there's so much war in the world, / Evil has so many faces, and the plough so little / Honour. the labourers are taken, the fields untended.
