Sino-Tibetan etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Sino-Tibetan: *g(h)rua (-t)
Meaning: wash
Tibetan: ãkhru, ãkhrud to wash, to bathe, khrus bath, washing.
Burmese: khjǝwh (OB khuiw) to wash, bathe; Jinuo khry.44 swim
Kachin: khrut2 to bathe, wash.
Lushai: ṭhuaʔ to wash or rinse (as inside of bottle).
Comments: PG *khrù; Dimasa di-gru. Sh. 47; Ben. 38. OCh. *r- is not quite clear here: perhaps the word should be rather compared with Jnp. ru1 to pour, to fall in torrents, as rain (which does not fit very well into the reflexes of PST *qhʷăH rain q. v.). Cf. Austric: PAA *ra:w 'wash', PAN *bulu 'wash hands'.

Shuowen gloss: 水行也.從沝�.�,突忽也籀文從水.
Comments: Schüssler (following some commentators) considers 流 in Shi 1 to be a loan for 摎 *r(h)iw 'to look for, seek' - but this is impossible due to rhyme considerations. For initial *r- (not *rh-) in OC cf. the Min forms: Xiamen, Chaozhou, Fuzhou liu2, Jianou liu9, Jianyang lau2, Shaowu lou2.
