Glyph origin edit

Characters in the same phonetic series (某) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
某 *mɯʔ
謀 *mɯ
媒 *mɯː
煤 *mɯː
腜 *mɯː
禖 *mɯː

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *mɯː) : semantic 火 (“fire”) + phonetic 某 (OC *mɯʔ).

Etymology edit

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Related to 火, PST *mej?”

Sino-Tibetan. Schuessler (2007) proposes two possibilities:

  • Cognate with Proto-Lolo-Burmese *ʔ-mu² (“soot; acrid (smoke)”). If related, a merger of Minimal Old Chinese *ə with *o must have occurred.
  • Cognate with Mizo mang (maŋᴿ), man (manᴸ, “sooty”), Mizo mang (maŋᴴ, “partially burnt wood”).

文 (OC *mɯn) may be a derivation with -n nominal suffix. 黑 (OC *hmlɯːɡ, “black”) may be an allofam. Unrelated to 晦 (OC *hmɯːs, “dark”) according to Schuessler (2007).
