Glyph origin
[edit]Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *ʔsiʔ) : semantic 女 (“woman”) + phonetic 𠂔 (Middle Chinese: t͡ʃɨX).
Etymology
[edit]From Austroasiatic; compare Old Mon kuṁci (“sister”) (Schuessler, 2007); connection with Proto-Tibeto-Burman *dzar (“sister (of man)”), from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *dzər ~ tsər (Benedict, 1974) is "phonetically less direct" (ibid.).
