==Chinese==

===Glyph origin===
{{Han etym}}
{{liushu|i}}: a line [[above]] another (contrast {{l|zh|下}}) — [[up]]. Originally written as {{l|zh|𠄞}}, but changed to this form to prevent confusion with {{l|zh|二}}.

===Etymology 1===
{{zh-forms|alt=丄-ancient,𠄞,尚-Min Nan “most”}}
From {{inh|zh|sit-pro|*s-tjaŋ||top}}. Cognate with {{cog|bo|སྟེང|tr=steng}}, {{cog|bo|ཡང་རྩེ||tr=yang rtse|summit; pinnacle}} ({{zh-ref|Bodman, 1980}}), {{cog|lus|zo||to be high}}, {{m|lus|zah||to respect; to revere}} (STEDT). 

''{{w|Shijing}}'' rimes indicate occasional level tone for pronunciation 2 ({{zh-ref|Schuessler, 2007}}).

Pronunciation 1 is the exopassive of pronunciation 2 with suffix ''*-s'', literally meaning "what has been raised" ({{zh-ref|Schuessler, 2007}}). The rising tone in Middle Chinese words with voiced stop initials regularly evolves into departing tone in Mandarin. Pronunciation 3 results from {{zh-l|叶韻}}, i.e. its pronunciation has been artificially changed to preserve rhymes in classical poetry.
