Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *laŋ) and ideogrammic compound (會意): semantic 阜 (“hill”) + phonetic 昜 (OC *laŋ, “sunshine”) – sun shining on a hill.

Etymology[edit]

Either Sino-Tibetan or a Mainland Southeast Asian (MSEA) Wanderwort; compare Burmese လင်း (lang:, “bright”), Lepcha [script needed] (a-lóṅ, “reflective light”), Thai ปลั่ง (bplàng, “bright; shiny”) (Schuessler, 2007).

STEDT provisionally sets up Proto-Kuki-Chin *klaaŋ-I, klaan-II (“shine; light; bright”) and compares it to the following:

  • 陽 (OC *laŋ, “sunshine”)
  • 景 (OC *kraŋʔ, “bright; scenery”)
  • 鏡 (OC *kraŋs, “mirror”)
  • 亮 (OC *raŋs, “bright”)
  • 章 (OC *kjaŋ, “brilliant, splendid; rule; emblem; display (v.)”)

Pronunciation[edit]

  • iûⁿ/iôⁿ - vernacular;
  • iông/iâng - literary.
