::* A distinction I feel it is important to make:
::: I am not saying that {{term|lang=en|cane}} and {{term|sc=Hani|管}} are absolutely unrelated.  Given what little I know of the two terms, I am led to the conclusion that this is an open question.  I ''am'' saying that we do not have enough evidence to say that {{term|lang=en|cane}} and {{term|sc=Hani|管}} are related.  We (the EN WT community) need evidence, or at least supporting quotations from respected linguists, before we can include such information in the main entry.  You are welcome to add such theories on the Talk pages, but until we have evidence, the addition of such information to main entry pages will be reverted, as it was at [http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=sugar_cane&diff=17127685&oldid=17127662 sugar cane].
