Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *ɢruds): semantic + abbreviated phonetic (OC *ɢuds).

Etymology

hedgehog
Its graph is also used to (huì, “category, class”), which is perhaps a variant of (lèi) without the latter's l- initial. Also note (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
If (OC *wəs) were related to (OC *rus), it may be a form whose initial *r- had been treated as a prefix and dropped.
