English meaning : beard, whiskers; place name

Russian meaning[s]: 1) должно, следует, необходимо, обязательно; нужно; нуждаться в...; 2) ждать, медлить; остановиться; 3) в конечном счете; во всяком случае; решительно; 4) вероятно, пожалуй; 5) древн. усы; 6) древн. сюй (название травы); 7) Сюй (фамилия)

Comments: Also used for homonymous *so 'to wait'; *so 'necessary'. Viet. tua is a rather archaic loan (going back to the Han-time form *sjwa) with a specialized meaning: 'fringe, tassel; feelers (of certain animals)'. Standard Sino-Viet. is tu. Schüssler reconstructs *s-n- in this xie-sheng series, probably because of the identity 須 = 需 'wait' q.v.
