Old Chinese
竱 toːn, *tjonʔ

嫥 tjon
膞 tjon, *tjonʔ, *djonʔ
鱄 tjon, *tjonʔ
蓴 djun

Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *tonʔ, *tons): semantic 車 (“carriage”) + phonetic 專 (OC *tjon) – to transport in a cart.

Etymology[edit]

Possibly related to:

An allofam is perhaps *don (“round”). Compare Vietnamese tròn (“round; circle; entire; whole”), trọn (“fully; completely; all”), as well as the following Chinese words:

  • 團 (OC *doːn, “ball; circle; lump”),
  • 摶 (OC *doːn, *doːn, *donʔ, “to roll up into a ball”).

Derivative: 傳 (OC *tons, *don, *dons, “to relay; to pass on; to transfer; relay station; biography; record”).

Pronunciation 1[edit]

Note:
  • tńg, túiⁿ - vernacular (“to return”);
  • choán - literary.
Note:
  • deng2 - vernacular (“to return”);
  • zuêng2/zuang2 - literary (zuêng2 - Chaozhou).
