Attestation in Middle Chinese
Would you be able to find anything that would support the current etymology (which should not exist if we move the Middle Chinese into the pronunciation section)? — justin(r)leung { (t...) 04:47, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I can't find any. Anyway, I think this kind of etymology (from Middle Chinese or wasei kango) is not particularly high-yield, because firstly there is too much conjecture and subjectivity, and secondly it's an incorrect application of the phonological concept of "Middle Chinese" to written attestations in a stage of "Classical Chinese".
