Glyph origin

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *ŋɡraːɡ): phonetic (OC *kʰraːɡ) + semantic (head).

Etymology 1

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-ŋa-k (forehead; cockscomb).

This word is only attested during Han and later. Wang (1982) suggested that it is cognate with (OC *ŋraːn, “face”), whereas Schuessler (2007) considers it a semantic extension of (OC *ŋɡraːɡ, “to face”).

The relationship to Proto-Mon-Khmer *[t₁]ʔah (forehead), whence Khmer ថ្ងាស (thngaah), is unclear.

Pronunciation


Note: ngaak6-2 - “top part, board, amount”.
Note:
  • ngiăh>ngiĕh - “forehead”;
  • ngiăh - “top part, board, amount”.

Pronunciation


Definitions

  1. (Shanghainese) alternative form of  / (possessive particle)
Usage notes
  • This is a Mandarin influenced form of the character often used in Shanghainese. Due to ’s expected pronunciation starting with /k/, it is often mistakenly analysed to be unrelated to this sense.
  • This cannot be used in other Northern Wu languages, such as Suzhounese, due to their retention of the /k/ initial.
