... think I might have written to you a few years back, because I've been using your site a good bit for years, and am writing again today, because I have developed a little question, which I'm sure would be right up your alley.  I'm transcribing and translating the words to a Nan-yin aria that I bumped into on Youtube, and it contains a colloquial reading of 狂 whose initial however is obscured by the singer's technique or similar.  The final is -ng.  I assume the tone must be 2 (though one can't hear that in singing).  And the initial would have to be either (missionary-romanisation:) kh- or k- to fit the patterns of correspondence between Southern Min and the character's reading in for instance Middle Chinese (Baxterian-MC gjwang).  It occurred to me that your site would likely include this reading, because you do a good many obsolescent ones from Nan-yin opera, so I looked there under the character, but if's regrettably absent.  So I wonder if you can tell me, what the initial of this colloquial reading is.  I'll put in below the link to Youtube in case you want to listen to this, within which the word occurs near the end.  But I suspect you already know the words to this aria by heart.  :))  

     Yours most appreciatively as always,
     Tim
