Comments: Also read *kʷān-s, MC kwần, Mand. àn id. Since Han the word is also used to denote a bundle of stringed coins, whence the meaning 'coin' in modern dialects. Another rather recent meaning is 'string of documents' > 'document concerning the place of birth', 'native place'. A reading attested since LZ is *kʷrān-s, MC kwạ̀n, Pek. àn 'be familiar, used to; usage' (later written as 慣).
