Cognate with Vietnamese biết (“to know”), Muong mắt (“to know”), Proto-Bahnaric *băt (“to remember, to know”), Proto-Hmong-Mien *pei (“to know”) (White Hmong paub (“to know, to understand”)).
Many variant written forms exist, but 捌 is recommended in the Taiwanese (Tâi-gí) Recommended Characters lists (《臺灣台語推薦用字》) published by Taiwan's Ministry of Education.
