English meaning : to withdraw, retire
Russian meaning[s]: 1) отступить, отойти назад; попятиться; отход; регресс; 2) уйти из..., выйти из...; уходить в отставку; 3) уступать; отослать обратно, вернуть; 4) спадать, уменьшаться в...; терять (напр. цвет); 5) отказываться (от чего-л.); устранить
Comments: There is no hsieh-sheng evidence for the OC reconstruction, so the word is usually reconstructed with *th- (could be also *sn-, because Shuowen gives a parallel variant with 內 in the right part); Viet. lui (there is also a variant lùi), however, strongly suggests an initial lateral in OC. Regular Sino-Viet. is thoái. Somehow related may be also 述 *lut 'to proceed, pass' q.v.
