Etymology

Traditionally connected to Proto-Tibeto-Burman *kyak (“navel, umbilical cord, rope”), the latter whence Burmese ချက် (hkyak, “navel”); however, the Old Chinese reconstructions make this problematic. Perhaps related to 射 (OC *ɢljaːɡs, *laːɡs, *ɢljaːɡ, *laːɡ, “to shoot”) (STEDT).

  Five or six years passed when Chanyu's younger brother, the Yujian king, came to the shores of Lake Baikal with his bow and retrievable arrows on a shooting expedition. Because Su Wu was good at fashioning nets, twisting cords for stringed arrows, and straightening bows and crossbows, he won favor with the Yujian king, who supplied him with food and clothing.
