This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (ti "descendant of fourth generation"), and not mentioned by Luce 1981. Considering it's rather "removed relative" semantic category, perhaps the proto-meaning was something else? Any connection to Old Chinese低 (OC *tiːl, “low”)? MED groups it with the "worm" meaning (which is kind of funny if they are etymologically connected).”
