The 'Chinese' Theory: For and Against

[ReneZ]

As an immediate reaction, without having read any of the background reasoning, I would call this 'interesting'.

I'm not a great fan of the 'Chinese theory', but I fully understand where it is coming from.
Contrary to many (most?) proposed solution ideas, this is actually based on observations and some evidence.

I gather that the proposed correspondence is with the concept zhu3, not the sound. This will make it difficult to find/match related words.

I think it is a bit early to consider this 'proven', which I believe was announced.
