Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *l'aŋ) : semantic 肉 (“body”) + phonetic 昜 (OC *laŋ).

Etymology

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *g-jaŋ ~ m-jaŋ (“large intestine”), whence Helambu Tibetan ནང་ཇུལ (nang jul, “viscera; guts; entrails”) and Chepang योङ्‌क्‍लीः (yoŋ-kliʔ, “intestine”) (STEDT).

Schuessler (2007) suggests it is also cognate with Tibetan ལོང་ཀ (long ka, “intestines; entrails; guts”).

Hong Kong Cantonese "penis"
Semantic loan from English sausage.

Pronunciation

Note:
  • tn̂g - vernacular (“intestine”);
  • chhiâng - literary (“sausage”, may be considered vernacular);
  • chhiân - common variant in Taiwan for “sausage”;
  • tiông/tiâng - literary.
Note:
  • deng5 - vernacular;
  • ciang5 - literary.
