獵 OC *li̯ɑp, GSR #637e; Mand. liè.
Citations of 獵 ‘tortoise; turtle’ are seen in 爾雅 Er Ya and 周禮 Zhou Li. While it doesn’t affect the validity of the comparandum, we should point out that the character 獵 most often represents a different etymon in OC, i.e. ‘to hunt (prey)’ (GSR #637e); this is the only commonly recognized sense of 獵 liè in modern standard Chinese. Karlgren (GSR #637e) notes that 獵 liè, when used to mean ‘turtle’, is a phonetic loan for another character, now obsolete, perhaps attested as the Zhou dynasty pictograph shown in GSR #637b. [SPB]
