Etymology 1
| trad. | 揪 | |
|---|---|---|
| simp. # | 揪 | |
| alternative forms | 揫／揪 | |
Sagart (2023b) reconstructs 揫 (OC *m-tsʰiw) (emended from *[dz]iw) and relates it to 秋 (OC tsʰiw, “autumn”). However:
- Mandarin 揫／揪 (jiū) suggests ancestral 揫 (OC *m-tsiw) (ibid.);
- See 秋 (qiū) for alternative etymology.
