"etymology_text": "Old Chinese pronunciation for this word was *g(ɯ)-rin (Zhengzhang), and in pre-Qin times the beast was also referred to as\n* 麟 (OC *rin),\n* 麐 (OC *m·rin, *m·rins),\n* 𪊓, or\n* 蔽 (OC *peds),\nthe last two having been attested in the oracle bone script already.\nThere is much debate as to what animal the qilin beast was; some maintain that the qilin was a beast only found in mythology, even though it may have been based on some animal in pre-historic times, and some argue that the qilin was in reality the river deer, the ox or cow, or the Indian rhinoceros (Wang, 2009).\nJanhunen (2011) tentatively compares 麒麟 (OC *ɡɯ rin) to a Northeast Asian etymon *kalimV, which denotes either \"whale\" or \"mammoth\"; however, he cautiously remarks that \"[t]he formal and semantic similarity between *kilin < *gilin ~ *gïlin 'unicorn' and *kalimV 'whale' (but also Samoyedic *kalay- 'mammoth') is sufficient to support, though perhaps not confirm, the hypothesis of an etymological connection\". He also notes a possible connection between Old Chinese and Mongolian (*)kers ~ (*)keris ~ (*)kiris \"rhinoceros\" (> Khalkha Mongolian хирс (xirs)).",

"etymology_text": "Old Chinese pronunciation for this word was *g(ɯ)-rin (Zhengzhang), and in pre-Qin times the beast was also referred to as\n* 麟 (OC *rin),\n* 麐 (OC *m·rin, *m·rins),\n* 𪊓, or\n* 蔽 (OC *peds),\nthe last two having been attested in the oracle bone script already.\nThere is much debate as to what animal the qilin beast was; some maintain that the qilin was a beast only found in mythology, even though it may have been based on some animal in pre-historic times, and some argue that the qilin was in reality the river deer, the ox or cow, or the Indian rhinoceros (Wang, 2009).\nJanhunen (2011) tentatively compares 麒麟 (OC *ɡɯ rin) to a Northeast Asian etymon *kalimV, which denotes either \"whale\" or \"mammoth\"; however, he cautiously remarks that \"[t]he formal and semantic similarity between *kilin < *gilin ~ *gïlin 'unicorn' and *kalimV 'whale' (but also Samoyedic *kalay- 'mammoth') is sufficient to support, though perhaps not confirm, the hypothesis of an etymological connection\". He also notes a possible connection between Old Chinese and Mongolian (*)kers ~ (*)keris ~ (*)kiris \"rhinoceros\" (> Khalkha Mongolian хирс (xirs)).",

First cited in Japanese to a text from 1798.",

"etymology_text": "Old Chinese pronunciation for this word was *g(ɯ)-rin (Zhengzhang), and in pre-Qin times the beast was also referred to as\n* 麟 (OC *rin),\n* 麐 (OC *m·rin, *m·rins),\n* 𪊓, or\n* 蔽 (OC *peds),\nthe last two having been attested in the oracle bone script already.\nThere is much debate as to what animal the qilin beast was; some maintain that the qilin was a beast only found in mythology, even though it may have been based on some animal in pre-historic times, and some argue that the qilin was in reality the river deer, the ox or cow, or the Indian rhinoceros (Wang, 2009).\nJanhunen (2011) tentatively compares 麒麟 (OC *ɡɯ rin) to a Northeast Asian etymon *kalimV, which denotes either \"whale\" or \"mammoth\"; however, he cautiously remarks that \"[t]he formal and semantic similarity between *kilin < *gilin ~ *gïlin 'unicorn' and *kalimV 'whale' (but also Samoyedic *kalay- 'mammoth') is sufficient to support, though perhaps not confirm, the hypothesis of an etymological connection\". He also notes a possible connection between Old Chinese and Mongolian (*)kers ~ (*)keris ~ (*)kiris \"rhinoceros\" (> Khalkha Mongolian хирс (xirs)).",

"etymology_text": "Old Chinese pronunciation for this word was *g(ɯ)-rin (Zhengzhang), and in pre-Qin times the beast was also referred to as\n* 麟 (OC *rin),\n* 麐 (OC *m·rin, *m·rins),\n* 𪊓, or\n* 蔽 (OC *peds),\nthe last two having been attested in the oracle bone script already.\nThere is much debate as to what animal the qilin beast was; some maintain that the qilin was a beast only found in mythology, even though it may have been based on some animal in pre-historic times, and some argue that the qilin was in reality the river deer, the ox or cow, or the Indian rhinoceros (Wang, 2009).\nJanhunen (2011) tentatively compares 麒麟 (OC *ɡɯ rin) to a Northeast Asian etymon *kalimV, which denotes either \"whale\" or \"mammoth\"; however, he cautiously remarks that \"[t]he formal and semantic similarity between *kilin < *gilin ~ *gïlin 'unicorn' and *kalimV 'whale' (but also Samoyedic *kalay- 'mammoth') is sufficient to support, though perhaps not confirm, the hypothesis of an etymological connection\". He also notes a possible connection between Old Chinese and Mongolian (*)kers ~ (*)keris ~ (*)kiris \"rhinoceros\" (> Khalkha Mongolian хирс (xirs)).",

First cited in Japanese to a text from 1798.",
