Etymology 1
Wikipedia has articles on:
- 嘔 (Written Standard Chinese?)
- 嘔 (Cantonese)
Ultimately onomatopoeic (Schuessler, 2007).
STEDT derives this from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ʔaw (“to vomit”), comparing it to Burmese အော့ (au.).
Alternatively, it may be cognate with Tibetan སྐྱུག (skyug) (Schuessler, 2007) and Japhug qioʁ (Zhang, Jacques, and Lai, 2019).
Pronunciation
Note: The zero initial /∅-/ is commonly pronounced with a ng-initial /ŋ-/ in some varieties of Cantonese, including Hong Kong Cantonese.
Note: áu - vernacular, ó͘/ió - literary.
