Old Chinese *sm- and the Old Tibetan Word for 'Fire'
Abstract: Several sinologists have compared Chinese xjwɨjX 'burn' or xwaX 'fire' to an Old Tibetan word smye 'fire'. No such Old Tibetan word exists. Instead, mye is the Old Tibetan word for fire and smye, also spelled dmeḥ, means 'stain, impurity, sin'. Tibetan evidence in this case does not support a reconstruction *sm- in Old Chinese.
期刊介绍:
The Cahiers is an international linguistics journal whose mission is to publish new and original research on the analysis of languages of the Asian region, be they descriptive or theoretical. This clearly reflects the broad research domain of our laboratory : the Centre for Linguistic Research on East Asian Languages (CRLAO). The journal was created in 1977 by Viviane Alleton and Alain Peyraube and has been directed by three successive teams of editors, all professors based at the CRLAO in Paris. An Editorial Board, composed of scholars from around the world, assists in the reviewing process and in a consultative role.
