Dear List:

Japanese konketsuji has been mentioned in this thread as the origin of 
Korean honhyora.  I note that my Chinese (mainland and Taiwan) 
dictionaries--which are by no means comprehensive--have the term for 
mixed-blood child, hunxue'er or hun-hsueh-erh (honhyora), but not just 
hunxue or hun-hsueh (honhyol).  I can't find hun-hsueh (-erh) in Mathews, 
either.  Does anyone know whether Chinese borrowed the term from Japanese or 
whether the word existed in Chinese in earlier times?   If a borrowing, when 
did it come into Chinese?  Did the Chinese have the concept of hunxue?  Just 
curious.
