搭 撘
Comment: Regarding 對 duì, OC reconstructions have an original final *labial stop, which GSR and Schuessler show as resolving early on to a final *dental stop. This final stop is itself later pre-empted by breathy phonation (implied by transcriptions *-d (GSR), -*ts (Schuessler) and *-t-s (B & S) to yield tone *C (去聲 qùshēng) by the time we reach MC.
Note also that Chinese 懟 duì can be considered an allofam of 對, the notion “respond, reply” taking on the sense “hostility”.
