Chinese comparandum

出 OC *t̑’i̯wət, GSR #496a-e; Chou 1972:213; Mand. chū.

This character, which means ‘emerge’ in Modern Chinese, is glossed ‘nephew, descendant’ in 爾雅 Er Ya (see Benedict 1942, ‘Tibetan and Chinese kinship terms’). The OC form *t̑’i̯wət is treated as a ‑*t-suffixed variant of PTB *m‑(t/d)u.

Due to a typographical error, a wrong character (畀, Mand. bì, ‘confer, give’) was cited in HPTB:200 instead of 出 (Mand. chū), cited correctly on p. 464.
