Glyph origin

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

Etymology

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


Note:
  • ng1 - vernacular;
  • yorng1/oeng1/yoeng1/yang1/ieng1 - literary.
