Glyph originEdit
Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *praː): semantic 豕 (“pig; boar”) + phonetic 巴 (OC *praː).
EtymologyEdit
Possibly from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *pʷak (“pig”); if so, cognate with Tibetan ཕག (phag), Burmese ဝက် (wak) (Benedict, 1972; STEDT).
However, there are phonological mismatches:
- A medial *-r- in Old Chinese should correspond to a pre-initial in Tibeto-Burman, but this is not present (Schuessler, 2007).
- A final *-k is present in Tibeto-Burman yet absent in Old Chinese, which is an irregular correspondence (Schuessler, 2007; Sagart, 2011b).
Alternatively, Schuessler (2007) considers Waic *bras (“wild boar”) a better match, while Sagart (2011b) suggests Tibetan བ (ba, “female cow”) and Queyu bra (“female cow”) as possible comparanda.
