Definition
This entry assigns the pinyin huā to 华, but the gloss describes the surname Huà and Mount Hua (Huà Shān) in Shaanxi — both standardly pronounced huà in Mandarin. The reading huā appears only in classical/literary contexts (e.g. 华发 'grey hair') and is not used for the surname or mountain. This row likely contains a data error: pinyin should be huà for these noun senses.
