Etymology 1
From (STEDT). Cognate with 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬.

🇨🇬, as reconstructed by Schuessler, is 🇨🇬 root's endoactive derivation with suffix *-ʔ, meaning "that which is flowing"; its voiceless initial suggests the presence of a nominalizing prefix *k- or *s-. Another derivative from the 🇨🇬 root is possibly (minimally reconstructed).

Compare also areal etymon 🇨🇬.

Alternatively, reconstructs 🇨🇬 *hljədx and compares it to 🇨🇬, which STEDT derives from 🇨🇬. , employing evidence from the form of the Min colloquial variant, reconstructs the latter *turʔ and thereby reconstructs 🇨🇬 *s.turʔ, and compares it to 🇨🇬, which is likely related to  (STEDT). Like, compares it to 🇨🇬, but he also compares it to 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, all of which STEDT derives from 🇨🇬. Handel deems derivations from 🇨🇬 or unlikely because of phonological issues (STEDT).
