Glyph origin[edit]

Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *dɯːɡ): semantic (ox) + phonetic (OC *ljɯs) – large bull.

Etymology[edit]

There seem to be two main semantic fields: "bull" and "single; unique". It is unclear whether these two fields are related. Schuessler (2007) suggests a possible derivation of "bull" from "match", but "bull" seems to be the earlier sense. The "single; unique" sense could be an extension of "bull" due to its largeness (Li Xueqin, 2012).

In the "bull" sense, it is related to (OC *dɯɡ, “ox”) (Schuessler, 2007).

Wang (1982) relates the "three-year-animal" sense to (OC *l'oːɡ, “calf”); see there for more.

In the "single" sense, it is related to (OC *dɯɡ, “simply; only”), (OC *tjɯɡ, “simply; only”) (Schuessler, 2007). Wang (1982) relates it to (OC *l'aː) and (OC *daːnʔ) in the "only" sense, as well as (OC *doːɡ, “single”) in the "single" sense, but see these entries for more.
