Isn’t 同 supposed to be “tong 2” instead of “tong 4”? And shouldn’t 叁 be 参 since 叁 means 3? And maybe accept “nv 3” or “nü 3” for 女 since “nu 3” can be rendered as 努?

“同(tong4)” comes from “胡同(alleyway)” but the separate "同(tong4)" doesn't have any meaning in neither Xinhua Dictionary nor Modern Chinese Dictionary.
