Sino-Tibetan etymology :

Search within this database
Proto-Sino-Tibetan: *ƛǝ̄j
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: sprout
Chinese: *Łhǝ̄j wild millet; shoot, sprout.
Lushai: hli self-sown, springing up from the old root perennially.
Comments: The meaning 'shoot, sprout' in OCh. may be secondary, due to a secondary usage of this character instead of 荑 *lhǝ̄j (see *jǝ̄l). In that case the root *ƛ[ǝ̄]j may be non-existent: Lush. hli may belong to *lĭ 'fruit, seed'.
