Chinese comparandum

力 OC *li̯ək, GSR #928a-b ‘sinew, strength, force, power’; Li 1971: (*ljək); Baxter 1992 #1314: *C‑rjɨk; B & S 2011: *k.rək; Schuessler 2007:351; Mand. lì.

仂 OC *lək, *li̯ək, GSR #928c ‘a tenth’; Li 1971: (*lək, ljək); Baxter 1992 #1315: *C‑rɨk, C‑rjɨk; B & S 2011: (*[r]ˤək, [r]ək); Schuessler 2007:349-350; Mand. lè.

扐 OC *lək, GSR #928d ‘space between fingers’; Li 1971: (*lək); Baxter 1992 #1315: *C‑rɨk; B & S 2011: (*[r]ˤək); Schuessler 2007:349-350; Mand. lè.

The graph seems to depict an arm with a hand. Also, in the same phonetic series, 仂 OC *lək ⪤ li̯ək, GSR #928c ‘a tenth’ (from the 10 fingers); Mand. lè, and 扐 OC *lək, GSR #928d ‘space between the fingers’ (where divination sticks were inserted); Mand. lè.

For a similar semantic association, cf. Japanese ude ‘arm’ and te ‘hand’, which may often be used in the sense of ‘ability, competence, skill’.

ZJH: Handel 2009:133-4 considers Chinese 亦 ‘armpit’ yì and 翼 ‘wing’ yì, both with OC *lateral initial, to be the most direct cognates to the basic PTB root *lak, while 力 lì with initial *r‑ is probably a more distantly related member of the Chinese word family. See #696 PTB *yak ARM / HAND / ARMPIT / TICKLE and #699 PTB *d-yak HAND / ARM / LEAF for more details.

SPB: Note that Schuessler (2007:349-50) considers 仂 lè and 扐 lè to be unrelated etymologically to 力 ‘strength’ lì; he considers them to derive from a basic sense of ‘vein (in soil)’, and thus connects them to 理/里 ‘cut in a regular way, divide into even sections’ (cf. *li̯əg, GSR #978a,d; Mand. lǐ).
