According to Sagart (2008), a word from the Yuè language meaning "die" was noted in Zhèng Xuán's commentary on the Zhōu Lĭ from the Han dynasty using the character 札, pronounced "tsreat" in Middle Chinese. Scholars Norman and Mei (1976) compared this word with the Vietnamese word "chết", which also means "to die". However, they missed that 札 is a well-known Chinese word meaning "to die (from external causes, prematurely, or in an epidemic)." This word appears frequently in classical Chinese texts without any specific southern or Yuè connection. The presence of this word in the Yuè language during the Han dynasty might be due to Yuè borrowing it from Chinese. Alternatively, it could have been the standard word for "die" in a Chinese dialect spoken in the Yuè region. The similarity between this Chinese word and the Austroasiatic word is likely coincidental.
