simp. and trad.
 哭

Glyph origin[edit]

Characters in the same phonetic series (獄) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
嶽 *ŋroːɡ
鸑 *ŋroːɡ
哭 *ŋ̊ʰoːɡ
獄 *ŋoɡ

Shuowen interprets it to be a phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *ŋ̊ʰoːɡ): semantic 吅 (“to speak loudly”) + phonetic 獄 (OC *ŋoɡ), simplified to 犬.

Alternatively, it may be an ideogrammic compound (會意): 吅 (“to speak loudly”) + 犬 (“dog”) – a dog's bark > cry; weep.

Etymology[edit]

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *kuːk (“to weep; to wail”); cognate with Mizo kûk (“to shriek”) (STEDT).

This seems to be an area word; compare Proto-Mon-Khmer *kuk ~ kuuk ~ kuək ~ kək (“to call”), Proto-Austronesian *-kuk (“sound of a sob”) (Schuessler, 2007).

Pronunciation[edit]
