Etymology
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *tas, *das): semantic 竹 (“bamboo”) + phonetic 者 (OC *tjaːʔ). The Classical Chinese word for "chopsticks". It has been replaced by 筷子 (kuàizi) in many dialects for taboo reasons, avoiding homophony with 住 (zhù, “stopping”) in boatmen's language. Still used in almost all Min dialects and sporadically in other topolects, such as Southern Wu topolects including Wenzhounese.
