Chinese
Glyph origin
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *pral): phonetic 罷 (OC *breːlʔ, *bral, *bralʔ) + semantic 熊 (“bear”); the common part 能 is shared.
Etymology
Zhang (2019) observes that the young of some brown bear subspecies sport white stripes, which fade with age, around their chests, and proposes that 羆 (OC *praj) is cognate to 斑 (OC *prân) "stripe, striped", both being from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *pral. As 斑 (OC *prân) is possibly the same word as 班 (OC *prân) (Schuessler, 2007), see 班 (OC *prân) for more etymology.
Meanwhile, Zhang, Jacques, and Lai (2019) compare 羆 (OC *praj) to Brag-bar Situ prī (“Asiatic brown bear”), Cogtse Situ prī (“idem”), and Japhug pri (“idem”).
