English meaning : money [Zhanguo]

Russian meaning[s]: 1) деньги; монета; 2) цянь (десятая часть лана); яп. сена (сотая часть иены); 3) Цянь (фамилия); [jiǎn] лопата, заступ

Comments: The earliest attestation of the character is in Early Zhou for a word *ćanʔ, MC cjén (FQ 即淺), Mand. jiǎn 'hoe, weeder'. The word *ʒ́an 'money' (also a measure of weight) appears during the late Zhanguo period, and is traditionally linked with *ćanʔ 'hoe' (either because hoes were used as exchange, or because money was manufactured in a hoe-like shape); this all seems rather dubious. Viet. also has a slang word sìn 'money' - probably a later loan from the same source. For unaspirated *ʒ- cf. Min forms: Xiamen, Chaozhou cĩ², Fuzhou cieŋ², Jianou ciŋ².

Russian meaning[s]: 1) олово; хим. олово (Sn); 2) даровать, жаловать; подарок; 3) 12-е число (в телеграммах); 4) Си (фамилия)

Comments: MC siek reflects a dialectal form with *slh- > s- (the normal reflex would be *thiek - which is actually reflected in the Vietnamese colloquial loan thiếc, while standard Sino-Viet. is tích). The character has actually a more rare reading thiek, Mand. tì 'to cut (hair), to shear' (L.Zhou), which demonstrates a standard phonetic development. See also 賜.
