From where did one get nets?
Did manaman import nets from China? In any case there have been midge-ridden swamps in your ends, which you would “catch”, statically like a “snare”—and casting nets are also just spread out after which one waits, in case you doubt the semantic likeness of 帳子 “mosquito-net”. The catch would be of course if this is not attested that far back (then it would be another compound with 帳 …).

Safe, this is bait too much. Though likelier than attaching the term vaguely to Celtic and “substrates”. Fay Freak (talk) 21:06, 4 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you, I will add your comparison to my list of discoveries which need further investigation. A Chinese specialist will need to look at the meaning and form of this Chinese term in the 5th century. Vahag (talk) 15:38, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
