Alternative forms

  • (when used as a left Chinese radical)

Although the alternative form clearly shows only three strokes, it is still counted as four strokes when using a Chinese dictionary. Compare from (water), from (hand), and from (heart), all of which are 3-stroke forms from 4-stroke characters.

Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *d-kʷəj-n (dog); cognate with Tibetan ཁྱི (khyi, dog), Burmese ခွေး (hkwe:, dog).

This common Sino-Tibetan word has been replaced by (OC *koːʔ) in most topolects except Eastern Min, such as Fuzhou kēng. In other topolects, this word is mainly found in compounds and not used alone.

Grade: 1

Alternative spelling

From Old Japanese, from Proto-Japonic *enu. Derivation uncertain. Various theories exist, including derivation from ancient verb 往ぬ (inu, to leave, to be gone), from the way a dog will guard the house while the master is away; from a compound of (ie, house, home) + (nu, to sleep, ancient monosyllabic form of modern 寝る neru); from ancient Japanese (enu < wenu, puppy, dog), itself of uncertain derivation; or as a borrowing from some other unknown language.
