During Early Zhou attested only within the binome 崔嵬 *ʒ(h)ūj-ŋūj. Guangyun gives only the reading MC ŋój, but other MC dictionaries have 平聲 ŋoj as well (e.g. YH 魚回), which is confirmed both by Shijing rhymes and the Pek. reading wéi. The word is expressive and obsolete in the modern language, but evidently related to other similar words in ŋ- (as MC 峨 ŋâ 'high, rocky' < *ŋāj, cf. Fuzhou, Jianou ŋɔ2; MC 巍 ŋwɨ̀j 'high, outstanding' < *ŋuj-s, cf. Xiamen i6, Chaozhou ŋui4, i6, Fuzhou ŋui6), which allows us to reconstruct *ŋ- (not *ŋh-) in OC.
