Proto-Sino-Tibetan
Etymology
- Proto-Sino-Tibetan: *xryid (Coblin, 1986)
- Proto-Tibeto-Burman: *kləy (Matisoff, STEDT); *kliy (Benedict, 1972; Weidert, 1987); *klyiy (*B) (Coblin, 1986); *kləy (Chou, 1972)
This root is sometimes thought to be related with Proto-Tai *C̬.qɯjᶜ (“excrement”), whence Thai ขี้ (kîi) and Zhuang haex (Schuessler, 2007).
