Etymology 1

trad.		遘
simp. ^#		遘
alternative forms		冓姤

Compare Proto-Tibeto-Burman *gow ~ *gaw, whence Jingpho gau (kau³³, “cross over”), Burmese ကူး (ku:, “to cross over”) (STEDT, Schuessler, 2007).

In Chinese, cognate with 覯 (OC *koːs, “to come across”), 姤 (OC *koːs, “gou (hexagram of the I Ching)”). Possible allofams in Chinese include 冓 (OC *koːs) in 中冓 (OC *tuŋ koː, “inner chamber”), 逅 (OC *ɡoːs, “to meet”), and 購 (OC *koːs, “to award”). Compare 遇 (OC *ŋos, “to meet”).
