English meaning : to compare
Russian meaning[s]: 1) сравнивать; в сравнении с; уподобиться; сравнительный; относительный; 2) служебный глагол сравнения; 3) жестом (примером) изобразить, показать (размер, форму чего-л.); аллегория; 4) мат. отношение; пропорциональность; 5) сокр. Бельгия; [bì] 1) близость; близкий; 2) прилегать; ближайший; последний; 3) до, вплоть до, вм. 到 в обстоятельствах времени; 4) подряд, несколько в ряд; рядом
Comments: Also read: bì, MC pjì (FQ 必至), OC *pijʔ-s 'to put together, match, assemble; to join'. Another reading is bǐ, MC pí, OC *prijʔ 'to be cooperative' (Sch.: perhaps 'be associating'); the MC reading, however, is not quite reliable - may be a misspelling instead of *pjí, OC *pijʔ. For the meaning 'to join' Sch. also gives a reading MC bjì (from Jingdian shiwen), which is somewhat dubious. The regular Sino-Viet. reading is ti` / ty`; thus bì is either an earlier or a later loanword.
