Etymology[edit]

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Is (OC *qɯn) related to (OC *qriːd, *qrid) & (OC *qeːns), both meaning "swallow"? Xie / Qi (契), the mythical ancestor of the Shang kings, was conceived after lady Jiandi (簡狄) swallowed the egg of the black bird (玄鳥) (e.g. in Shijing (詩經) - Shang Song (商頌) - Xuan Niao 玄鳥, Shiji (史書) Yin benji (殷本紀), etc. ), identified explicitly as 燕 (Lunheng 論衡, chapters 案書 Anshu & Qiguai 奇怪).”

    Etymology[edit]

    Kanji in this term
    いん
    Hyōgaiji
    kan’on

    The senses “Shang dynasty” and “prosperous” are from Middle Chinese (MC 'j+n), corresponding to modern Mandarin yīn and Cantonese jan1. The sense “rumbling” corresponds to modern Mandarin yǐn and Cantonese jan2.

    The kan'on pronunciation, so likely a later borrowing.
