Etymology
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *suː): semantic 手 (“hand”) + phonetic 蚤 (OC *ʔsuːʔ, “flea, louse”). Schuessler (2007) considers 掃 (OC *suːʔ, *suːs, “to brush”) to be cognate and suggests a Sino-Tibetan etymology, relating it to Chepang साव्सा (saw-, “to itch”), सोस्सा (sos‑, “to itch”), Bodo (India) [script needed] (su-, “to itch”). Baxter and Sagart (2014) relates it to 爪 (OC *ʔsruːʔ, “claw”).
