Etymology 1
“to go; to come; to arrive”
Possibly cognate to Tibetan འགྲོ་བ། ( 'gro ba , “ to go, walk, travel ” ) , འགྲོ་བ་པོ ( 'gro ba po , “ traveler ” ) , འགྲོན་པ ( 'gron pa , “ to go, travel ” ) , མགྲོན ( mgron , “ guest ” ) , མགྲོན་ཁང ( mgron khang , “ inn ” ) (Geilich, 1994 ). If so, from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *grwat ( “ to go through, to travel ” ) . However, STEDT does not compare this to Tibeto-Burman lexical items under *grwat .
Baxter (1992) proposes that this is related to 路 (OC *ɡ·raːɡs , “road”). Compare 客 (OC *kʰraːɡ , “guest, visitor”), 旅 (OC *ɡ·raʔ , “travel, lodge”), and 行 (OC *ɡaːŋ, *ɡaːŋs, *ɡraːŋ, *ɡraːŋs , “to go”)
“to obstruct; to hinder”
(This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium .)
“frame; square”
(This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium .)
“style; form; pattern; standard; personality; character”
(This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium . Particularly: “Semantically derived from "square, frame" sense?”)
Pronunciation
Note : gaak3-2 - "square".
Note :
kak/gag5 - "square";
kiet/kiat/gêd5 - other senses (including "pattern", "personality").
Note :
gáh - vernacular;
gáik - literary.
Note :
ga5 - vernacular;
geh6 - literary.
Note :
keh/keeh - vernacular (“pattern; frame; special property; grid; breed; classifier; to change the original structural layout (Zhangzhou); topography of a watershed”);
kek/kiak/kerk - literary (“to examine; to change the original structural layout (Xiamen, Quanzhou); to build by laying bricks or stones”).
Note :
(Suzhounese) 7 kaq - vernacular;
(Suzhounese) 7 keq - literary.

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-ka(:)k ( “ fork, branch, crotch ” ) . Cognate with Apatani á-ha ( “ branch ” ) , Mizo kâk ( “ fork of a tree ” ) , Burmese အခက် ( a.hkak , “ tree branch ” ) .
Attested since the Northern and Southern dynasties period . According to Schuessler (2007) , the word may be much older as the graph already appeared in Zhou texts and was intended to mean "branch" (with 木 radical).
