Glyph origin

[edit]

Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *qaŋ, *qaŋʔ) : semantic (grain; cereal) + phonetic (OC *qaŋ).

Etymology

[edit]

Attested relatively late, in the Tang dynasty (Sagart (2011)).

Haudricourt and Strecker (1991) propose a Hmong-Mien origin, but Sagart (2011) argues that the direction of borrowing should be the other way around. He instead proposes an internal Chinese origin, suggesting that it is a cognate of (OC *qraŋ, “grasses at their growing/flowering stage, before producing seeds”) without a -r- infix.

Relationship with Tibeto-Burman items is unclear, due to mismatching initials: Tibetan ལྗང་བ (ljang ba, shoot, sprout), ལྗང་བུ (ljang bu, rice seedling), Lepcha ᰊᰜᰤᰨᰵ (ta-lyong, young blades of corn, rice) (Schuessler, 2007).

Pronunciation

[edit]

Note:
  • ng - vernacular;
  • iong/iang - literary.
Note:
  • ng1 - vernacular;
