Glyph origin edit

In Chu slips, Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *ɡrad): phonetic (OC *kaːds) + semantic . In the modern script, has corrupted into .

Etymology 1 edit

trad.
simp. #

According to Schussler (2007), (OC *ɡrad) and (OC *ɡrad) are the same word meaning "outstanding > hero"; insides Sinitic, it is cognate to (OC *kʰrad, “martial”); outsides Sinitic, it is related to either Mizo hrât (valiant, resolute) or Tibetan གྱད (gyad, strength; champion, athlete).

STEDT reconstructs Proto-Sino-Tibetan *gjat (hero, champion) for (OC) ~ (OC *ɡrad) and གྱད (gyad).
