Phono-semantic compound (形聲 , OC *kroːŋʔ, *ɡloːŋs ): semantic 水 ( “ river; water ” ) + phonetic 巷 ( OC *ɡroːŋs) .
Etymology 1 [ edit ]
Cognate with 江 (OC *kroːŋ , “river”) (Schuessler, 2007 ). 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 (Schuessler, 2007 ).
