Glyph origin

Originally an unorthodox variant of . Now made up of 广 (house) + (tree), an ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意) representing a wooden furniture item (a bed) in a house.

Etymology

Schuessler (2007) suggests that it may be related to Khmer រង (rɔɔng, to support from below), Old Mon [script needed] (joṅ, couch; bedstead). Compare also Burmese စင် (cang, platform, stage) (Luce, 1981).

Baxter & Sagart (2014) reconstructs OC prefixal *k- based on Vietic evidences: cf. Maleng [Brô] kacɨəŋ, Maleng [Kha Pong] kəcɨːŋ² , Chut [Sách, Rục] kəcɨːŋ².
