Glyph origin

[edit]
Western Zhou
Bronze inscriptions

The modern form is almost solely intended to transcribe the ancient character shown in the image. Various transcriptions can be found, sometimes with replacing the component (cf. , which contained this component historically). The bottom component, originally (“grass”) duplicating the top component, may be modernised as , though some may omit it.

Pronunciation

[edit]

Unclear. It is probable that (OC *paŋ, *baŋ) was the intended phonetic component. The character has been romanized as "Pang" in the literature, and a comparison with a place attested as in the Classic of Poetry has been made.[1]

Definitions

[edit]

𬝧

  1. (historical) Pang (a place near or Hào, one of the central localities of the Western Zhou state)

Usage notes
