Glyph originEdit

Characters in the same phonetic series (黽) (Zhengzhang, 2003)

	Old Chinese
澠	mlenʔ, mliŋʔ, *ɦbljɯŋ
黽	mlenʔ, mliŋʔ, *mreːŋʔ
僶	*mliŋʔ
繩	*ɦbljɯŋ
譝	*ɦbljɯŋ
憴	*ɦbljɯŋ
鱦	ɦbljɯŋ, ɦbljɯŋ, b·lɯŋs, mraːŋʔ
蠅	*b·lɯŋ
鄳	mraːŋ, mraːŋʔ
鼆	*mreːŋʔ

Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *b·lɯŋ): semantic 虫 (“insect”) + phonetic 黽 (OC *mlenʔ, *mliŋʔ, *mreːŋʔ).

EtymologyEdit

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-b-(r/j)aŋ (“fly; bee”). Compare 虻 (OC mˁraŋ, “"horsefly"”), Tibetan སྦྲང་བུ (sbrang bu, “bee”), Burmese ယင် (yang, “fly”), Chepang याङ्‌ (“insect; fly”), Japhug ɣʑo (“bee”) (STEDT; Coblin, 1986; Benedict, 1972; Schuessler, 2007; Zhang, Jacques, and Lai, 2019).
