Comments: MC siek reflects a dialectal form with *slh- > s- (the normal reflex would be *thiek - which is actually reflected in the Vietnamese colloquial loan thiếc, while standard Sino-Viet. is tích). The character has actually a more rare reading thiek, Mand. tì 'to cut (hair), to shear' (L.Zhou), which demonstrates a standard phonetic development. See also 賜.
