Glyph origin

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *pral): phonetic (OC *breːlʔ, *bral, *bralʔ) + semantic (bear); the common part 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 (OC *praj) is cognate to (OC *prân) "stripe, striped", both being from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *pral. As (OC *prân) is possibly the same word as (OC *prân) (Schuessler, 2007), see (OC *prân) for more etymology.

Meanwhile, Zhang, Jacques, and Lai (2019) compare (OC *praj) to Brag-bar Situ prī (Asiatic brown bear), Cogtse Situ prī (idem), and Japhug pri (idem).

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “First recorded in the Shinsen Jikyō and Wamyō Ruijushō as shiguma, possibly from splitting the character 羆 vertically into () (shi, four) + (くま) (kuma, bear). The syllable shi later shifted to hi, with the latter being standardised since the Taishō era.”
