中文摘要
稀疏義的「希」的上古音可構擬為*qhəj;「希」字又是「絺」的初文，其上 古音可構擬為*thri。「希」字一形多用，兩個讀音應該沒有聯繫。
英文摘要
“希” xi that means sparse can be reconstructed as *qhəj in Old Chinese. The character “希” xi is also the protoform of “絺” chi, which can be reconstructed as *thri. “希” xi is a heteronymic character, and there should be no connection between the two sounds.
