chui and shui are reasonably similar sounds here, but tuo is a little weird.

October 11, 2008 at 09:18 AMThe historical sound transition of "垂" and "唾" are as follows （rough approximations, as always）;
垂 zhiwoi > zhiwe > chui > chuei (= chui)
唾 ..tuoi....> tua ...> tuo ..> tuo (= tuo)
At least, the two of them had similar vowels in ancient times, but later they gradually differentiated from each other perhaps due to the difference of consonants and medial vowel.
