Comments: Hsieh-sheng connections of the word are not clear, and there are no early rhymes with it, thus the OC reconstruction allows for several variants: *hrǝns, *hrins, *sŋrǝns, *sŋrins (even *hǝrs or *sŋǝrs can not be excluded). Bearing in mind that 半 (or, in another graphic variant, 分) may be phonetic here, and that OC *sm- sometimes yields MC delabialised x-, a reconstruction *smrǝn-s would be also possible.
