Glyph origin

[edit]

Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *ljaːɡ) : phonetic (OC *djaɡ) + semantic (cloth). In the small seal script has corrupted into ⿸广廿. Shuowen Jiezi interprets it as ideogrammic compound (會意会意) : abbreviated phonetic (OC *hljaɡs) + semantic . In the variant 𠩛, corrupted into instead.

Compare (OC *daːɡs, *daːɡ) and (OC *hljaɡs).

Etymology 1

[edit]

Etymology unclear. Various theories have been proposed:

  • Wang (1982) relates this to (OC *zjaːɡs, *zjaːɡ), (OC *ʔsaː, *ʔsaːʔ, *sʰa), (OC *ʔseːns).
  • Schuessler (2007), reconstructing this word minimally as *s-lak, relates this word to (OC *mlaʔ, *mlaŋʔ, “grass”).
  • Baxter and Sagart (2014) derive it from a root *tak (to place), with circumstantial noun prefix *s-, literally “place for putting things”.
