Comments: Another reading is *rojʔ, MC lwé, Mand. lěi 'to heap up; multiple' (also attested since L.Zhou, and probably being the source of the derived *rojʔ-s). For *r in *rojʔ cf. Xiamen, Chaozhou, Fuzhou lui3; in *rojʔ-s - Xiamen, Chaozhou lui6, Fuzhou loi6. The character was also rather frequently used instead of 纍 *ruj 'to bind' q.v.
