Talk:把式

Etymology
把勢 is seen in 西游记. Is the Manchu etymology likely? Dokurrat (talk) 12:36, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Perhaps. Lots of references attribute it to Manchu, which may have significantly popularised this word. See: 爱新觉罗·瀛生《满语杂识》, 爱新觉罗·瀛生《北京土话中的满语》, 《辞书研究》(1986), 史有为《外来词：异文化的使者》, 《中国语言学报》(1995), 《中国语文》(2006), etc. Wyang (talk) 20:50, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
