Proto-Sino-Tibetan: *xūH
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: pleasant, good
Chinese: *xūʔ good, fine
Tibetan: mkho pleasant
Comments: Cf. Jiarong kǝ-hou 'good'. In STEDT 136-137 the Chin. form is compared with TB *hu 'born/birth/rear'; the root is attested, however, only in Bokar, Padam-Mising, a Meithei compound, Qiang χu 'to give birth' and several Lolo-Burmese languages, and does not seem very reliable.
