*moːɡ
Pictogram (象形 ) – a tree: branches on top, roots on the bottom (more visible in earlier forms). See also 本 , 未 , 末 and the top component of 尞 in his original version.
Unrelated to 耒 , in which it represents a bifurcated plow, and 茶 , in which it represents the door of a hut. Unrelated to 米 since it is the pictogram of six rice kernels. Also unrelated to 保 , in which it represents the body of a newborn baby.
Etymology
No known cognate exists. It can perhaps be compared with Proto-Karen *məŋᴮ ( “ trunk (of a tree); firewood ” ) (Starostin ) or Proto-Lolo-Burmese *ʔmuk ( “ stump (of a tree) ” ) (Schuessler, 2007 ).
The common Sino-Tibetan root for “tree; wood” is *siŋ ~ sik , represented by 薪 (OC *siŋ , “firewood”).
