Etymology
[edit]According to STEDT & Schuessler (2007), from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *kwar (“hole, orifice; innards”).
- Inside Chinese, cognate with 貫 (OC *koːns) "to go through, to pierce";
- Outside Chinese, cognate with Central Bai [script needed] (khuɑ̱̃²¹, “cave, hole”), Mizo khuar ~ khur (“hole”), Burmese ဂူ (gu, “cave”) (however, see there for alternative etymologies), etc.

Definitions
[edit]窾
- (archaic) hole; crack
- 依乎天理,批大郤,導大窾,因其固然。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
- From: Zhuangzi, circa 3rd – 2nd centuries BCE, translated based on James Legge's version
- Yīhū tiānlǐ, pī dàxì, dǎo dàkǔan, yīn qí gù rán. [Pinyin]

依乎天理,批大郤,导大窾,因其固然。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]
- (archaic) hollow; empty
- 其實中其聲者謂之端,實不中其聲者謂之窾。窾言不聽,姦乃不生,賢不肖自分,白黑乃形。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
- From: The Records of the Grand Historian, by Sima Qian, c. 91 BCE
- Qí shí zhòng qí shēng zhě wèizhī duān, shí bùzhòng qí shēng zhě wèizhī kǔan. Kuǎn yán bùtīng, jiān nǎi bùshēng, xián bùxiào zìfēn, báihēi nǎi xíng. [Pinyin]
- Among all of them, one calls those whose substance matches their outward expressions 'the upright ones', and those who fail at this, 'the hollow ones'. When we refuse to heed the words of the hollow, vices will therefore wither, and the good will distinguish themselves from the dishonourable, and all the contrasting and contradicting elements will proceed to show up as they truly are.
其实中其声者谓之端,实不中其声者谓之窾。窾言不听,奸乃不生,贤不肖自分,白黑乃形。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]
