English meaning : to assist, approve

Russian meaning[s]: 1) помогать, содействовать; поощрять; поддерживать; 2) хвалить, одобрять; хвала; похвала; 3) сказать, сообщить; 4) обходиться по этикету; 5) древн. видеть

Comments: A somewhat later meaning is ('to approve, assist verbally') > 'to flatter'. This meaning since LZ was denoted by the same character with an addition of the 149th radical 言. Regular Sino-Viet. is tán; labialisation in Viet. chuâ`n is not clear.
