Glyph origin

[edit]
Historical forms of the character 鵝
Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Small seal script Transcribed ancient scripts

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *ŋaːl): phonetic 我 (OC *ŋaːlʔ) + semantic 鳥.

Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ŋa-n (“goose”); cognate with Tibetan ངང་པ (ngang pa), Burmese ငန်း (ngan:). However, the final consonants of the proposed cognates are possibly irreconcilable; they could instead be independently coined through onomatopoeia (Schuessler, 2007; Hill, 2019).

Related to 雁 (OC *ŋraːns, “wild goose”); see there for more.
