Talk:བོད

Latest comment: 6 years ago by Wyang

If anyone is confused like me as to how བོན (bon) and བོད (bod) may be related, an interesting parallelism may be Arabic عَرَّبَ (ʕarraba, to express clearly, to declare) and عَرَب (ʕarab, Arab). Wyang (talk) 01:45, 22 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

How about the opposite case in Chinese 胡言 (húyán, “speech of the non-Han people; nonsense”)? — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 01:57, 22 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Haha! It all depends on perspective, I guess. If the 胡 in there is indeed derived from “barbarian”. Wyang (talk) 02:01, 22 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
