Etymology

2.5 MB / 35 MB

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ʔit. Descendants from the *ʔit etymon account for the majority of the dialectal forms for ONE in Chinese (Mandarin, Jin, Gan, Hakka, Hui, Xiang, Yue groups, etc.).

In Min, an additional unrelated form is found and used as the colloquial reading for ONE. Compare:

Fuzhou/Fuding suoʔ⁸, Fuqing θyo⁸, Gutian syøʔ⁸, Ningde søʔ⁸, Zhouning sɔʔ⁸, Putian ɬoʔ⁸, Xiamen/Quanzhou/Yongchun/Zhangzhou tsit̚⁸, Leizhou/Haikou ziak⁸, Longyan tse⁴, Youxiu ɕie⁷, Jian'ou/Songxi tsi⁵, Jianyang tsi⁸, Jian'ou tsi⁵.

Whether all of the forms above are related and their origins remain unelucidated; they may be derived from 蜀 (shǔ) (cf. 獨／独 (dú, “single, alone”)), 隻／只 (zhī) (< *tjak ~ g-t(j)ik) or 禃 (zhí).

Some Central Min dialects use 個／个 and 寡 (guǎ) for ONE.
