Pronunciations 1 (“dipper, ladle”) and 2 (“water ladle”) are cognate. Variant character: (zhǔ, “ladle”). They probably belong to the same word family as (OC *tjos, “to pour”), as a derived noun. Within Sino-Tibetan, compare Tibetan ཆུ (chu, water), འཆུ ('chu, to scoop up, to ladle water) and Burmese တို့ (tui., to dip; large basket).
