Etymology
- “wether”
- Sino-Tibetan; cognate with 羖 (OC *klaːʔ, “(black) ram”), as well as Kinnauri (kʰas), Chitkuli Kinnauri (kʰa), (kʰɘs, “sheep”) (Schuessler, 2007).
- Alternatively, Wang (1982) relates this word to 割 (OC *kaːd, “to cut”).
- “Jie people”
- Borrowed from Jie. Possibly of Yeniseian origin. Pulleyblank (1962) connects the ethnonym to Proto-Yeniseian *cewç (“stone”). Vovin et al. (2016) additionally proposes *keˀt (“person, human being”) as a possible etymon. This character was likely chosen to transcribe the indigenous name of the tribe for its pejorative meaning (ibid.).
