Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *praːwɢ) : semantic 馬 (“horse”) + phonetic 爻 (OC *ɢraːw).

Etymology

    Inherited from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *bruk (“piebald”) (Schuessler, 2007, STEDT); cognate with Burmese ပြောက် (prauk, “spotted, speckled”), Karbi pʰròk, Jingpho prúʔ, Mru preu (“of mixed colors”). Another Chinese cognate may be 斑 (OC *praːn).

    豹 (OC *preːwɢs, “leopard”) is its exopassive derivative, literally meaning, “the spotted one”.
