#2071 PTB *b-ras RICE / FRUIT / BEAR FRUIT / ROUND OBJECT |
An Austronesian connection has long been suggested for this root (cf. Malay bəras < Proto-Indonesian *bəɣa/s ‘husked rice’) although this etymology has been rejected by Benedict (1975:104), who prefers to relate the WT form to Chinese 飯 ‘cooked rice or millet’ (OC *b'i̯wăn; GSR 262i), on the grounds that the basic meaning of the TB etymon is FRUIT / BEAR FRUIT (cf. WT ḥbras‑bu ‘fruit, corn, grain’). See Gong 2001:23.
