顉頭 [Nodding/shaking the head]: Fanqie 牛 (niu) + 感 (gan) [MC: *ŋəm̌]. The Shuowen jiezi states: 'To bow the head.' The Guangya states: '顉 (qin) means to shake; it refers to shaking one's head.' In Jiangnan today, accepting while shaking one's head is called 傪顉 (canqin); it is also used for laughing at someone as 顉酌 (qinzhuo). 傪 is fanqie 蘇 (su) + 感 (gan) [MC: *səm̌].
