Chinese
Glyph origin
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *ɢruds): semantic 㣇 + abbreviated phonetic 胃 (OC *ɢuds).
Etymology
- hedgehog
- Its graph is also used to 彙/汇 (huì, “category, class”), which is perhaps a variant of 類/类 (lèi) without the latter's l- initial. Also note 彙/汇 (huì, “hedgehog”)'s Cantonese pronunciation leoi6.(Bodman, 1980; Schuessler, 2007)
- Sino-Tibetan; cognate with Mizo kuh (“porcupine's quill, porcupine”) and Mizo sakuh (“porcupine”). In Tibeto-Burman cognates *k- is seemingly a prefix.(Schuessler, 2007)
- category, class
