Abstract
It is well known that cognates correspond regularly among dialects. Yet irregularities exist. Especially when mismatching in sound-meaning correlation of a word occurs, unpredictable varieties would be created. In this paper, words for “Mouthbreeder” and “Armpit” of Southern Min are examined as examples of the mismatched varieties. The development of these words as well as some related issues are further discussed.
