Etymology 2
[edit]From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *gra (“long (time)”). Cognate with Old Chinese 遐 (OC *ɡraː, “far, distant, long (time)”) (STEDT: kra "long ( in doing, in time )"). Hill (2019) (p. 251) adduces 架 (OC *kraːls, “stand, support”) (which he mistakenly writes as 枷 (OC *ɡa, *ɡal, *kraːl, “shackles”)) as a phonetically-sound cognate.
