清水江文书中特殊计量单位词考源

Study the Source of the Special Measure Words in Qingshuijiang Documents

对清水江文书中一组特殊计量单位词的来源进行探讨,指出这些特殊的单位词实际上均来源于汉语,其中单位词"手、籽、把、担、挑"在汉语里就使用,而单位词"稨、■、拿、、运"则分别是汉语动词"编、■、拿、攎、攍"被借入苗、侗语后产生的用法,又"(禾劳)、运"分别为"攎、攍"的谐音字。

The paper studied the origin of a group of special unit words in Qingshuijiang documents,which also pointed out that these special unit words actually come from Chinese. For example,shou(手) zi(籽) ba(把) dan(担) and tiao(挑) are used originally in Chinese while the unit words such as bian(稨) qia(■) na(拿) lao([禾劳]) and yun(运) are respectively borrowed from Chinese verbs--bian(编) qia(■) na(拿) lu(攎) and ying(攍). Lao([禾劳]) and yun(运) are respectively the homophone of lu(攎) and ying(攍).
