Chinese
Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value)
Etymology
Cited in the 1958 Dictionary of Chinese Seed Plant Families and Genera (中国种子植物科属辞典). Likely of Dai or Hani origin, preserved in local Yunnan toponyms such as 多依寨 (Duōyī-zhài). The shift from 多 (duō) to 栘 (yí) appears to be have been motivated by a desire for better semantic matching in the written character.[1]
