Glyph origin[edit]

Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *nja, *njaʔ, *njas) : semantic (grass, plants) + phonetic (OC *nja, *njas) – plant roots, part of a plant.

Etymology[edit]

Schuessler (2007) proposes an Austroasiatic origin; compare Kharia [script needed] (ɲoʔ, to eat) and Proto-Vietic *s-nja:ʔ (to chew, to masticate) (> Vietnamese nhá). Schuessler (2003) also compares 茹 with Jingpho noʔ¹ 'to eat' and Proto-Mienic *ʔnəkD 'to swallow'.
