From where did one get nets?

[edit]

Did manaman import nets from China? In any case there have been midge-ridden swamps in your ends, which you would “catch”, statically like a “snare”—and casting nets are also just spread out after which one waits, in case you doubt the semantic likeness of 帳子 “mosquito-net”. The catch would be of course if this is not attested that far back (then it would be another compound with …).

Safe, this is bait too much. Though likelier than attaching the term vaguely to Celtic and “substrates”. Fay Freak (talk) 21:06, 4 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, I will add your comparison to my list of discoveries which need further investigation. A Chinese specialist will need to look at the meaning and form of this Chinese term in the 5th century. Vahag (talk) 15:38, 5 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
