| 姊 | *ʔsiʔ |
| 秭 | *ʔsiʔ |
| 趀 | *sʰi |
| 笫 | *ʔsriʔ, *ʔsrɯʔ |
| 胏 | *ʔsrɯʔ |

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *ʔsiʔ): semantic 女 (“woman”) + phonetic 𠂔 (Middle Chinese: t͡ʃɨ$^X$).

### Etymology

From Austroasiatic; compare Old Mon kuṁci (“sister”) (Schuessler, 2007); connection with Proto-Tibeto-Burman *dzar (“sister (of man)”), from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *dzər ~ tsər (Benedict, 1974) is "phonetically less direct" (ibid.).
