^ Xikou is sometimes transliterated as Chikow/Qikou/Kikow. Until the 20th century, 溪 was pronounced [t͡ɕʰi⁵⁵], as evidenced by its fanqie reading (苦奚切). This archaic pronunciation of 溪 gives rise to the spelling 'Chikow', or 'Qikou' in the Hanyu Pinyin system. The old Postal Romanization 'Kikow' reflects the 19th century pronunciation of 溪 in conservative Mandarin dialects (e.g. Nanking dialect) in which velars had not undergone palatalization (from [kʰ] to [t͡ɕʰ] in this case).
