to bend, bent, curved, crooked, wrong
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *(k/ʔ)uk (“bend, crooked, return, back, year”) (STEDT). Cognate with Tibetan འགུགས ('gugs, “to bend”), Burmese ကောက် (kauk, “bent, curved, crooked”) (Hill, 2019). Compare Proto-Mon-Khmer *gɔk (“be crooked, bent, lame”) (Schuessler, 2007).
mocking; ridiculing
From 曲線／曲线 (qūxiàn).
