Chinese comparanda

中 OC *ti̯ông3, GSR #1007a-e ‘middle, center’; Li 1971: *trjəngw; Baxter 1992:477, 1641: *k‑ljung; Mand. zhōng.

There are at least two competing etymologies for this Chinese word, one relating it to Tibetan gźung ‘middle, midst’ (e.g. Bodman 1980:123 set 240, Coblin 1986:53) and the other the one proposed here (e.g. STC p. 182).

Baxter (1992:525) follows Bodman, reconstructing *k‑l‑ rather than *trj‑ to match Tibetan gźung and to explain the use of the character as a sound gloss for 宮 *k(r)jung, Mand. gōng in the Eastern Han.

The original comparison in STC seemed suspect because of the irregular correspondence between the stop initial in Chinese and the sibilant initial in Tibeto-Burman, but the revised PTB etymon makes a good match. If we consider the possibility of reconstructing *r‑tjung, as proposed in Handel 1998, then there is no mismatch in the medial.

For another example of the same final correspondence, cf. #820 PTB *(g/k)uŋ HOLE / ORIFICE / INNER PART 孔, Mand. kǒng.

^ 1.
Bisu sa probably means “flesh” (cf. #34 PTB *sya‑n FLESH / MEAT / GAME ANIMAL).
^ 2.
Bisu sàj is a borrowing from Thai sǎaj ‘cord, string’. This morpheme, interestingly enough, occurs in reduced form in the Thai word for ‘navel’, sədɨɨ (cf. Li Fang Kuei 1977:92).
^ 3.
HPTB pp. 287, 310 incorrectly cites GSR’s reconstruction as *ti̯əŋ. This was corrected in L. Sagart’s review of HPTB (2006:217) to *t̑i̯uŋ, which is also incorrect: this is Karlgren’s MC form. [JAM]
