Etymology for Min[edit]

@Wyang, Schuessler seems to agree with Chinese academia, saying that it is related to 骹 (tibia) instead of Tai-Kadai. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 19:19, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Justinrleung Thanks. I modified the etymology - let me know what you think. By the way, do you have any luck in accessing Yue-Hashimoto's 1976 publication? The title sounds interesting; It would be good to have a read. Wyang (talk) 22:29, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Wyang: Looks good! I can't find Yue-Hashimoto's article though. It seems to come from a Japanese journal which I don't have access to. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 02:48, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That's okay. I was tempted to contact him on his email, but can't be bothered now. Might resort to that method next time I encounter another word citing his etymology. :) Wyang (talk) 12:03, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Wyang: You do mean her, right? — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 14:38, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, sorry, her. Misguided by this page... Wyang (talk) 23:15, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
