Glyph origin edit
Etymology edit
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *bəw (“insect, bug, vermin, snake”); cognate with Burmese ပိုး (pui:, “insect”), Tibetan འབུ ('bu, “iworm, bug”), Apatani ta-bu (“snake”), bu-rũ & bu-di (“python”), Southern Qiang bù ló (bug, maggot), etc. (STEDT). Schuessler (2007) also proposes cognacy with Tibetan སྦུར (sbur, “ant”), yet STEDT doesn't.
