English meaning : to throw off skin, shed hair / feathers; fade, lose colour [LZ]

Russian meaning[s]: сброшенная кожа (пресмыкающихся, куколок насекомых); сбрасывать кожу; линять; [yuè] молодые пчелы

Comments: Also read *ƛots, MC śwèj, *Łot, MC jwet id. Obviously related to 脫 *ƛōt q.v. MC also has irregular reflexes of the same root: MC thwầ and MC thòn (Mand. tùn). The latter reading since Song has been transcribed by a special character, 褪 (the reading thòn is attested very late - in Yinyunchanwei) 'to put off (clothes), fade, wither, run (of colour)'. Standard Sino-Viet. readings are thoái ( = MC thwầj), thuế ( = MC śwèj), nhuế ( = unattested MC *jwèj), thốn ( = MC 褪 thòn).

English meaning : a k. of mussel (Corbicula leana) [modern]

Comments: Also read *g(h)ēnʔ, MC ɣíen; *khēns, MC khìen. The standard Sino-Viet. reading is quite irregular: nghiễn. The usage of 蜆 for 'mussel' is quite recent; the earliest attested meaning of the character (in Erya) is 'a k. of silkworm', and the word may be actually a dialectal variant of the standard 繭 *kēnʔ 'silkworm' (q.v.). Cf. also Viet. kiến 'ant' (borrowed from the same source?)
