TheProto-Min *toiᴮ (Bodman, 1980 ). The relationship of this to the-n forms in other dialects is unclear and two theories exist:
Old Chinese*tˤorʔ divergently developed into (1)*toj in southeastern China, and (2)*ton elsewhere (Baxter and Sagart, 2014 ). Compare also:端 OC 瑞 OC 算 OC 卵 OC Proto-Min may represent the original Old Chinese form, and the forms in other Chinese varieties are due to confusion with斷 OC *toːnʔ, *toːns, *doːnʔ Schuessler, 2007 ). STEDT sets up two roots for this:Proto-Sino-Tibetan *t(j)u(ŋ/n) ( “ short ” ) , whenceBurmese တောင်း ( taung: ,“ short (as in garment) ” ) , and*dəw ( “ short ” ) , whenceBurmese တို ( tui ,“ short ” ) ,Mizo tawi ( “ short ” ) .
