    Old Chinese Contrasts
    1. The person accompanied may be obligatorily of distinctly higher status (péi 陪, shì 侍 ), or that person may be of any status (jiē 偕, jù 俱, yǔ 與 )

    2. The togetherness may be primarily in terms of physical vicinity (shì 侍, jiē 偕, péi 陪 ) or it may be in terms of forms of forms of collaborative togetherness that are not essentially spatial (yǔ 與 ).

    3. The togetherness may include the notion of support (yǔ 與, péi 陪, shì 侍 ), or it may be more simply a matter of intentional spatial proximity (all others [JP]).

    4. The notion of togetherness may be typically grammaticalised and adverbial (jiē 偕, jù 俱 ), or it may be ungrammaticalised and fully verbal (all others).
