Etymology
edit2.5 MB / 35 MB
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ʔit. Descendants from the *ʔit etymon account for the majority of the dialectal forms for ONE in Chinese (Mandarin, Jin, Gan, Hakka, Hui, Xiang, Yue groups, etc.).
In Min, an additional unrelated form is found and used as the colloquial reading for ONE. Compare:
- Fuzhou/Fuding suoʔ8, Fuqing θyo8, Gutian syøʔ8, Ningde søʔ8, Zhouning sɔʔ8, Putian ɬoʔ8, Xiamen/Quanzhou/Yongchun/Zhangzhou tsit̚8, Leizhou/Haikou ziak8, Longyan tse4, Youxiu ɕie7, Jian'ou/Songxi tsi5, Jianyang tsi8, Jian'ou tsi5.
Whether all of the forms above are related and their origins remain unelucidated; they may be derived from 蜀 (shǔ) (cf. 獨/独 (dú, “single, alone”)), 隻/只 (zhī) (< *tjak ~ g-t(j)ik) or 禃 (zhí).
Some Central Min dialects use 個/个 and 寡 (guǎ) for ONE.
