Glyph origin

[edit]

Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *qloːŋ) : phonetic (OC *kloːŋ) + semantic (wings). Originally representing the meaning “feathers”, it was later loaned to mean “old man” and similar senses, by association with the semantic .

Etymology 1

[edit]

Possibly Sino-Tibetan. Compare Mizo ung (to be old, elderly, aged; to be venerable, antique, ancient; to be of long standing, to be an old inhabitant, to be an old stager (v.; adj.)) (Schuessler, 2007).

Baxter & Sagart (2017) included (OC *qˤoŋ) "old man" in the same word-family as (OC *C.qˤoŋ) "father, prince" and (OC *t-qoŋ) "husband's father".

Pronunciation

[edit]

Note:
  • ang - vernacular (incl. surname in Taiwan);
  • ong - literary.
