This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (hrâ "scarce"), while Luce's comparison with Old Chinese少 (OC *hmjewʔ, *hmjews, “few”) is phonetically problematic.[1] On the other hand, 稀 (OC *hlɯl, “rare, sparse”) appears to be a better match, both phonetically and semantically.”
