Etymology

“pig”
Possibly from Proto-Sino-Tibetan (Schuessler, 2007). Löffler (1966) considers Mru tia ((wild) pig) to be cognate.
Fangyan states that (OC *kraː) is a dialectal variant of (OC *ta), yet *kra was apparently older than *t(r)a and homophonic with (OC *kraː, “stag”); so instead *t(r)a is possibly an early rural dialectal variant (from the sound changes *ʈa < *tra < *Cra) of *kra, which would have had a general meaning of "male animal". See for more.
(Cantonese) virginity”
Referring to the similar-sounding word (cyu2).
