Glyph origin

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *ʔl'aːʔ, *l'aːʔ) : semantic + phonetic (OC *l̥ʰaːʔ, *l'aːʔ).

Etymology

A post-classical word. Compare Proto-Sino-Tibetan *l-tjwa (mouth; beak; food; stomach), whence Tibetan ལྟོ་བ (lto ba, stomach; belly) (STEDT). Compare also Proto-Tai *dwuːŋꟲ (belly) (whence Thai ท้อง (tɔ́ɔng)) and Proto-Kam-Sui *luŋ² (stomach), as Middle Chinese shangsheng corresponds to foreign in some words (Schuessler, 2007).

Some dialects have different pronunciations for the two senses, "abdomen; belly (of a human)" and "stomach (of an animal)", derived from two different readings in Middle Chinese that differed in the voicing of the initial consonant.

  • In Mandarin, the pronunciation for the former sense derives from the 徒古切 reading in Middle Chinese (i.e. the reading with voiced initial /d/) and the pronunciation for the latter sense derives from the 當古切 (i.e. the reading with voiceless initial /t/) reading.
  • In Min Nan, the pronunciation for the former sense derives from the 當古切 reading and the pronunciation for latter sense derives from the 徒古切 reading.
  • Cantonese uses the same pronunciation for both senses, derived from the 徒古切 reading.
  • Hakka also uses the same pronunciation for both senses, but it is instead derived from the 當古切 reading.
