Alternative forms edit

Due to Han unification, different forms of the character are given the same codepoint. In simplified Chinese, Korean Hanja and Vietnamese Chữ Nôm, the upper right component is written 𠘧/几 to give 沿, which is the form found in the Kangxi dictionary. In traditional Chinese (Hong Kong and Taiwan), the upper right component is written 儿 to give 沿. In Japanese shinjitai, the upper right component is written 八 to give 沿.

Glyph origin edit

Characters in the same phonetic series (沿) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
船 *ɦljon
沿 *lon
鉛 *lon

Etymology 1 edit

The same word as 緣 (OC *lon, “to go along”). Cognate with 緣 (OC *lons, “hem; border on garment”), which is the exopassive of 沿 (OC *lon) (literally "what is followed/follows") (Schuessler, 2007).

Possibly related to Proto-Tai, compare Thai เลียน (liian, “to mimic”), or from Sino-Tibetan; compare Mizo zeelᴸ (“to walk along, a road along a hillside”) and Jingpho mə³¹-jan³³ (“flow along a cliff”) (Schuessler, 2007); nevertheless, Schuessler finds Middle Chinese descendant's rounded element difficult to reconcile phonologically with these items and proposes also a derivation from 由 (OC *lɯw).
