Etymology
According to Schuessler (2007) , from Sino-Tibetan and an area word. Externally, cognate with Tibetan འགས་པ ( 'gas pa , “ to split; to break; to burst apart ” ) , Proto-Mon-Khmer *kat ~ *kaat ( “ to cut ” ) , whence Khmer កាត់ ( kat , “ to cut ” ) and Proto-South-Bahnaric *kat ("to chop; to cut"). Within Chinese, cognate with 害 (OC *ɡaːds , “to harm; to injure”), and 犗 (OC *kraːds , “to castrate”), which is perhaps the r-causative of 割 (OC *kaːd ).
On the other hand, STEDT compares it to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *d-ra-t ( “ cut; slash ” ) , to which 害 (OC *ɡaːds , “to harm; to injure”), 犗 (OC *kraːds , “to castrate”), 剌 (OC *raːd , “to cut; perverse”) are also compared. Descended from the Proto-Sino-Tibetan root are Tibetan དྲ་བ ( dra ba , “ to cut ” ) and Burmese ရှန ( hra.na. , “ wounded ” ) .
