Glyph origin edit

Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *ljaŋ): semantic (altar) + phonetic (OC *laŋ). Originally just , was added later to distinguish it.

Etymology edit

"fortune, omen (good or bad)" > "good luck"
According to Schuessler (2007), many different etymologies are theoretically possible:
  • possibly belonging to (OC *las) ~ (OC *la, *las) ~ (OC *las, “cheerful, joyous”);
  • possibly related to Tibetan གཡང (g.yang, happiness, blessing, prosperity) (cf. Bodman, 1980) (yet see (qìng));
  • Note also Saek [script needed] (laaŋᴬ¹, luck)
ancient funeral sacrifice
