Glyph origin

[edit]
Characters in the same phonetic series (辡) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
辬 *praːn
瓣 *breːns
辦 *breːns
辨 *breːns, *brenʔ
辡 *prenʔ, *brenʔ
辯 *brenʔ
辮 *beːnʔ

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *brenʔ) : phonetic 辡 (OC *prenʔ, *brenʔ) + semantic 言 (“say”). However, the phonetic component (which is the reduplication of the Kangxi radical of the knife to mark prisoners) perhaps symbolizes two prisoners accusing each other, hence "debating in an aggressive manner".

Etymology

[edit]

Cognate with 辨 (OC *breːns, *brenʔ, “to distinguish”).

    Notes for Old Chinese notations in the Baxter–Sagart system:

    * Parentheses "()" indicate uncertain presence;
    * Square brackets "[]" indicate uncertain identity, e.g. *[t] as coda may in fact be *-t or *-p;
    * Angle brackets "<>" indicate infix;
    * Hyphen "-" indicates morpheme boundary;

    * Period "." indicates syllable boundary.
