Etymology

[edit]

May be the transcription of a native non-Chinese word. Attested on excavated artefacts dating to the late Warring States Period, as well as in the Records of the Grand Historian.

Compare 邛都, 新都 (Xīndū), 廣都广都, 筰都, 武都 (Wǔdū), all of which are toponyms in present-day southwest China with (OC *taː) as the second syllable. In particular, according to the Records of the Grand Historian, 邛都 (OC *ɡoŋ taː) and 筰都 (OC *zaːɡ taː) were originally names of tribes that were "Southwestern Barbarians" (西南夷 (Xīnányí)).
