Comments: Also read *Ła-s, MC ḍö̀ id. Regular Sino-Viet. is trù'. MC ḍ- normally reflects OC *Łh-; in this case, however, the Min dialects have a uniform unaspirated reflex (Xiamen tu², Fuzhou tuo², Jianou tü², tiu²). The same exceptional development is attested in three other cases (see 池, 腸, 場). It is not quite clear what happens here: either Min dialects reveal old literary influence, or these all are cases of irregular absence of fricativization *Ł- > ź- > j- that occurred elsewhere already in the Han period.
