Comments: Also used for homonymous words: *raj 'to fasten in a net, get tangled, caught in a net' (obviously related to 羅 *rāj 'bird-net', 籬 *raj 'hedge'; sometimes written with another character, 罹 - which, however, has also a metaphoric meaning 'trouble, anxiety, sorrow' < 'drag into, involve'); *raj 'be hanging down'; in the die-sheng 流離 *ru-raj 'horned owl'. For OC *r cf. Min forms: Xiamen, Chaozhou li2, Fuzhou lie2. There also exists a qu-sheng reading *raj-s, MC lè (FQ 力智) 'to separate'. Regular Sino-Viet. is ly. Viet. also has rò'i 'be separated, separate' - probably a more archaic loan from the same source.
