Etymology 1

[edit]

There is no obvious cognate and etymology, unless it may be related to Proto-Austroasiatic *tiʔ (Proto-Monic *tiiʔ (soil; ground consisting of earth), Semnam tɛʔ (soil; earth)). However, this would require the assumption of a shift from front vowel to Old Chinese *a (Schuessler, 2007).

Probably related to しゃ (OC *ɦljaːʔ, “god of soil; altar to god of soil”).

Pronunciation

[edit]

Note: dou6 - “ground, dust”.
