Etymology

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *tuːl): semantic 土 + phonetic 隹 (OC *tjul). Schuessler (2007) takes its first appearance in Chu Ci as suggestive of foreign origin. Possibly related to: * Proto-Tai *C̥.doːjᴬ (“mountain”) (whence Thai ดอย (dɔɔi), Saek [script needed] (rɔ:jᴬ¹), Zhuang ndoi) * Proto-Hmong-Mien *glaɨᴰ (“mountain”), or * Austroasiatic, e.g. Middle Mon [script needed] (duiw, “hill, hilltop”) Possibly connected with 屯 (OC *duːn).
