Master Fournet:

 

My dictionary says bìn means 'calf of the leg'. Forgive me if I trust it more than you.

 

Starostin has *PinH.

 

=============================================

Dear Little Scarabee,

 

The following words are bin (1 or 4)

and share the same phonetic component : p/b_a_t/d_i_n_(s/?)

 

bin1 guest < A.F bad-in

Compare Tibetan bd-ag

 

bin1 bank, shore < A.F *pad-in

Compare PIE ped-on "ground"

bin4 knee-cap, patella < A.F *pat-in

 

bin4 a coffin < A.F *padins

Compare PIE ped "container"

 

Now the one-syllabe structure also exists : p/b_a_t/d_(s/?)

Another phonetic component

 

Bi4 thigh, thighbone < A.F pat-s

 

Bin4 and Bi4 are possibly from the same root *pat.

I let you decide if we can compare Chinese root *pat with Roman words patte, pata, and German Pfote.

 

Now you are allowed to kow-tow

and get back to normal life.

A.F
