Glyph origin[edit]

Characters in the same phonetic series (斿) (Zhengzhang, 2003)

	Old Chinese
游	*lu
遊	*lu
蝣	*lu
斿	*lu

Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *lu): semantic 辵 (“walk”) + phonetic 斿 (OC *lu).

Etymology[edit]

From Sino-Tibetan. Cognate with Tibetan རྒྱུ་ (rgyu, “to go; to walk; to move; to wander”), Lepcha [script needed] (yŭ), Rawang yɨ (“to flow”) (Schuessler, 2007).

Same word as 游 (OC *lu, “to swim”). See there for more.
