Comments: For *bh- cf. Chaozhou, Fuzhou phing2. The character is also used for a phonetically similar word: biàn, MC bjen, bạ̈̀n, OC *ben, *brēn-s 'to distinguish, discriminate, arrange properly', obviously related to 辯 *brenʔ id. q.v. In Viet. the literary reading is bình. Another probable colloquial loan from the same source is Viet. phă`ng 'level, even, plane'.
