Etymology

edit

Sagart (2008: 134-136) considers it a cognate of Proto-Austronesian *bəCəŋ (foxtail millet) as part of the hypothetical Sino-Tibetan-Austronesian language family. Blust (2013: 713), however, finds this comparison unconvincing because of the apparently arbitrary and phonetically unjustified fluctuation between Old Chinese *-k and Proto-Austronesian *-ŋ.

Cognates of this word are found in a handful of Tibeto-Burman languages, such as Drung tɕɑʔ⁵⁵ (millet) and Lhokpu cək (Setaria italica) (Sagart, 2008). This etymon should be kept separated from (OC *kʰljɯs), (OC *kʰɯʔ) and (OC *ʔsleds). The first two may belong to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *khrəj (millet), while the last one may be related to Proto-Lolo-Burmese *tsap (millet), along with Burmese ဆပ် (hcap, Setaria italica) and Nuosu (jyp, millet) (Schuessler, 2007: 299).
