Etymology[edit]

to hunt: Zheng Xuan comments that "là [臘 (lɑp)] is a designation for the sacrifice made of animals which have been caught in a hunt liè (ljap)" [1] (cited in Bodde, 1975 & Schuessler, 2007), thus considering 臘 (OC *raːb) & 獵 (OC *rab) cognates.; See 臘 for etymology.

turtle, tortoise: From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *k-lip (“turtle, tortoise”) (STEDT, Schuessler, 2007). See there for cognates.
