輁 *kloŋʔ, *ɡloŋ
舼 *ɡloŋ
輂 *kloɡ

Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *kroːŋʔ, *ɡloːŋs): semantic 氵 + phonetic 巷 (OC *ɡroːŋs).

Ideogrammic compound (會意) proposed as alternative: a harbor is a road by the water.

Etymology[edit]

Cognate with 江 (OC *kroːŋ, “river”). The southern dialectal word originally meant "small river/stream", which is still preserved in some Min languages. The irregular pronunciation in Mandarin (expected Mandarin reflex is *jiǎng) originated from southern dialects where velars have not palatalized.
