Glyph origin[edit]

Characters in the same phonetic series (夌) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
棱 *rɯːŋ
稜 *rɯːŋ
輘 *rɯːŋ
倰 *rɯːŋ
祾 *rɯːŋ, *rɯŋ
踜 *rɯːŋs

崚 *rɯŋ
掕 *rɯŋ
𩜁 *rɯŋs
庱 *r̥ʰɯŋ, *r̥ʰɯŋʔ
睖 *r̥ʰɯŋ

Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *rɯŋ): semantic 冫 (“ice”) + phonetic 夌 (OC *rɯŋ).

Etymology[edit]

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *r-p(w)am (“to freeze; snow”) (provisionally reconstructed) (STEDT).

Insides Sinitic, 凌 (OC *p.rəŋ ~ [r]əŋ) is cognate with 冰 (OC *p.rəŋ), 雱 (OC *pʰˁaŋ) "heavy snowfall", 霙 (OC *qraŋ, “*ʔraŋ”) "snowflake, sleet", & possibly also 凝 (OC [ŋ](r)əŋ) "to congeal" (STEDT; Baxter and Sagart, 2014);
Outsides Sinitic, cognate with Proto-Tani *pam (“snow”), Japhug jpɣom (“to freeze”), tɤjpɣom (“ice”) (STEDT; Zhang, Jacques, and Lai, 2019).

Alternatively, 冰 (OC *prjəŋ ~ prəŋ?) and 凌 (OC *b-rjəŋ ~ rəŋ) may be related to Khmer ប្រឹង (preṅa, “to harden; to solidify”) from [script needed] (reṅa, “to dry up”), although the meanings are difficult to reconcile (Schuessler, 2007).
