Comments: Jiyün has also a reading MC khew ( < *khaw) (FQ 丘襖) to gloss the oldest occurrence of the character in Shijing - but there it most probably stands for 喬 *gaw 'high, tall' q.v. Viet. cầu is colloquial; regular Sino-Viet. is kiều. Another loan from the same source (with some semantic change) may be Viet. kèo 'cross-beam; rafter'. For *g- cf. Xiamen kio2, Chaozhou kie2, Fuzhou küo2.
