"C̬.qɯjꟲ" meaning in All languages combined

See C̬.qɯjꟲ on Wiktionary

Noun [Proto-Tai]

Etymology: The Proto-Tai form *C̬.qɯjꟲ was reconstructed by Pittayaporn (2009). Possibly cognate with Proto-Austronesian *Caqi (whence Paiwan tsaqi, Malay tahi, Malagasy tay). Also possibly cognate with Chinese 屎 (shǐ, “excrement”); Thai ขี้ (kîi) (a descendant of *C̬.qɯjꟲ) was considered cognate with Middle Chinese 屎 (MC śi) by Manomaivibool (1975) and Old Chinese 屎 (OC qhji') by Gong (2002). Bauer (1996) pointed out that khV ("excrement") is quite widespread in Cantonese 𡲢 (ke¹, “poop”), Tai (e.g. Thai ขี้ (kîi)) and Tibeto-Burman (e.g. Zaiwa kʰji²¹, Burmese ချေး (hkye:, “shit”) and Lashi kʰjei⁵⁵) in focusing on modern lexical forms instead of proto forms. Paul Benedict criticized that the lexical forms Bauer had pulled together as the "same" word were really just "looklike". Bauer rebutted that it is highly unlikely that the phenomenon of simple coincidence explains the occurrence of so many phonosemantically similar (and identical) forms in so many different languages. Compare Sui ggeex, Proto-Kra *kaiꟲ and Proto-Hlai *ɦaːjʔ (whence haːj³ in most modern dialects).

  "etymology_text": "The Proto-Tai form *C̬.qɯjꟲ was reconstructed by Pittayaporn (2009).\nPossibly cognate with Proto-Austronesian *Caqi (whence Paiwan tsaqi, Malay tahi, Malagasy tay).\nAlso possibly cognate with Chinese 屎 (shǐ, “excrement”); Thai ขี้ (kîi) (a descendant of *C̬.qɯjꟲ) was considered cognate with Middle Chinese 屎 (MC śi) by Manomaivibool (1975) and Old Chinese 屎 (OC qhji') by Gong (2002).\nBauer (1996) pointed out that khV (\"excrement\") is quite widespread in Cantonese 𡲢 (ke¹, “poop”), Tai (e.g. Thai ขี้ (kîi)) and Tibeto-Burman (e.g. Zaiwa kʰji²¹, Burmese ချေး (hkye:, “shit”) and Lashi kʰjei⁵⁵) in focusing on modern lexical forms instead of proto forms. Paul Benedict criticized that the lexical forms Bauer had pulled together as the \"same\" word were really just \"looklike\". Bauer rebutted that it is highly unlikely that the phenomenon of simple coincidence explains the occurrence of so many phonosemantically similar (and identical) forms in so many different languages.\nCompare Sui ggeex, Proto-Kra *kaiꟲ and Proto-Hlai *ɦaːjʔ (whence haːj³ in most modern dialects).",
