Gao You
Gao You 高誘 was a scholar of the Eastern Han dynasty. He wrote commentaries on the Spring and Autumn Annals and Mencius.[1] He is also the author of the earliest commentary to the Annals of Lü Buwei.
Baxter & Sagart (2014: 265) take the following remarks from his commentary on the Annals of Lü Buwei as evidence of final *-r in the word 殷.
今兖州人謂殷氏皆曰衣
Nowadays the people of Yǎnzhōu 兖州 all pronounce the family name 殷 Yīn [*ʔər] as 衣 Yī [*ʔ(r)əj]”— Gao You, Commentary on Lüshi Chunqiu
