Glyph origin edit

Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *ɡew, *ɡews): phonetic (OC *ŋeːw) + semantic (feather).

Etymology 1 edit

Schuessler (2007) considers this to be probably unrelated to the word family of (OC *krew, “tall”) and instead proposes cognacy with Proto-Northern Naga *gyaw (high).

Sagart (2021b) connects this to Tibetan སྒྲོ (sgro, large feather), which he (Sagart, 2017b) has also connected to (OC *krew).
