Glyph origin[edit]
| Characters in the same phonetic series (缶) (Zhengzhang, 2003) | |
|---|---|
| Old Chinese | |
| 寶 | *puːʔ |
| 珤 | *puːʔ |
| 缶 | *puʔ |
| 缹 | *puʔ |
Oracle bone script: Ideogrammic compound (會意): 宀 (“house”) + 王 (“jade”) + 貝 (“cowry”) – treasures in a house.
The phonetic component 缶 (OC *puʔ) was added to the character in bronze inscriptions.
Etymology[edit]
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *pəw (“price”); cognate with Burmese အဖိုး (a.hpui:, “price”) (Schuessler, 2007; STEDT). Peiros and Starostin (1996) also compares it to Tibetan སྤུས (spus, “goods”). Sagart (1999) relates it to 富 (OC *pɯɡs, “rich”). Schuessler (2007) proposes that it could be the same word as 保 (OC *puːʔ, “to take care of; to consider something precious”).
