Glyph origin[edit]

Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *kaːʔ) : semantic (cow) + phonetic (OC *kaːʔ)

Etymology[edit]

Wang (1982) related this word to (OC *klaːʔ, “(black) ram”) and (OC *kraː, “boar”).

However, Schuessler (2007) suggested an Austroasiatic origin: compare these Bahnaric lexical items Koho klaw, Chrau klo:, Bulo Stieng klaw "male" (all from Proto-Bahnaric *kləw < Proto-Mon-Khmer *t₁l(ə)w(ʔ) (male)), as well as Khmer ខ្លោះ (khlɑh, male, virile), កំលោះ (kɑmlɑh, young man).
