Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *kraː) : semantic + phonetic (OC *kraːʔ).

Derivative: (“home”).

Etymology

Wang (1982) relates this word to (OC *klaːʔ, “(black) ram”), (OC *kaːʔ, “male bovine”) and (OC *kraː, “stag”); thus, this word is likely a general word for “male animal”. However, Schuessler (2007) considers (OC *kaːʔ) to be a post-classical loanword from Austroasiatic, and (OC *klaːʔ) a cognate to (OC *kad, “wether”). See these entries for more.

The common word for “pig” in most modern varieties of Chinese, (OC *ta), is likely a derivative. See there for more.
