Glyph origin

edit

Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *l'aŋ) : semantic (body) + phonetic (OC *laŋ).

Etymology

edit

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *g-jaŋ ~ m-jaŋ (large intestine), whence Helambu Tibetan ནང་ཇུལ (nang jul, viscera; guts; entrails) and Chepang योङ्‌क्‍लीः (yoŋ-kliʔ, intestine) (STEDT).

Schuessler (2007) suggests it is also cognate with Tibetan ལོང་ཀ (long ka, intestines; entrails; guts).

Hong Kong Cantonese "penis"
Semantic loan from English sausage.

Pronunciation
