Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *taːŋ, *taːŋs) : phonetic (OC *djaŋ, *djaŋs) + semantic (field) – fields facing each other.

Etymology 1

[edit]

(OC *taːŋs, “right; suitable; ought to”) (pronunciation 2) is the exopassive derivation of (OC *taːŋ, “to have the value of; to be equal of; to face; vis-à-vis”) (pronunciation 1), literally "what is being matched".

(OC *taːŋʔ, “class; party”) is the endoactive derivation of (OC *taːŋ, “to be equal of”), literally "that which is equal in rank" (Schuessler, 2007).

Perhaps cognate with Tibetan དང (dang, (together) with; and) (Schuessler, 2007).

Pronunciation 1

  • tng - vernacular (“to face; to undertake (Mainland China); just at the time of (Xiamen, Taiwan, Quanzhou)”);
