    simp. and trad.

    Cognate to Taishanese (and other Siyi dialects) みん (min2), as in 細民さいみん细民.

    Schuessler (2007) suggests that it may come from the same etymon that gives 便びん (OC *ben) as in 便びん (OC *ben peːɡs), which he relates to Proto-Kam-Sui *mpaːn¹ (male (person)) and Proto-Hlai *C-maːn (male (person)).

    Cognate with (ka). Likely pronounced long due to being a single mora. Elongation of single mora words is still seen in the Ōsaka dialect with words like teː "hand" from te. The 794 quotation is the oldest extant example of a long vowel in Japanese.
