Comments: For *gʷ- cf. Min forms: Chaozhou kuãi2, Fuzhou keŋ2. Also read (since L.Zhou) *gʷēns, MC ɣwìen (FQ 黃絢), Pek. xiàn, Viet. huyện, Xiamen kuãi6, Chaozhou kũĩ6, Fuzhou kaiŋ6, Jianou küiŋ6 'district' . Since in some texts (e.g. Shiji) the word is used as a synonym of the whole 天下, *gʷēn-s may be derived from *gʷēn as originally 'smth. suspended, derived from Heaven's will' (although, of course, this may be a folk etymology).
